NexGard

NexGard is a tasty chewable tablet for dogs that kills fleas and ticks by overstimulating their nervous system.

Active Ingredient

The active ingredient in NexGard is afoxolaner. After taking the chewable tablet, afoxolaner is absorbed into the blood. Fleas and ticks attach to your dog and begin to feed. This exposes them to the active ingredient, and within 8 hours (fleas) to 48 hours (ticks), the effect occurs. The flea protection lasts for 5 weeks, and NexGard works against ticks for 4 weeks.

The effectiveness of NexGard is not reduced by swimming or washing your dog because the active ingredient is in your dog.

Administer NexGard chewable tablets according to the table below:

The chewable tablets should not be divided. For dogs over 50 kg, a combination of two tablets should be used that best matches the body weight.

NexGard contains the same active ingredient as Frontpro.

Leaflet

Read the leaflet before use.
