Nexgard Chewables is a potent oral flea and tick treatment for dogs. Formulated with Afoxolaner as its active ingredient, these beef-flavored, palatable chewables effectively kill adult fleas and prevent flea infestations. These monthly chewables alsotreat and control black-legged tick, American dog tick, lone star tick, brown dog tick and long-horned tick infestations. Suitable for dogs and puppies from 8 weeks of age, weighing at least 4 lbs, Nexgard Chewables are also indicated for the prevention of Lyme disease in dogs.
Nexgard Chewables leverages a powerful ingredient called Afoxolaner, which is a member of the isoxazoline family. It binds with the chloride channels at the binding sites, inhibits channels gated by the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and disrupts the pre-and post-synaptic transfer of chloride ions across cell membranes. The prolonged afoxolaner-induced hyperexcitation leads to uncontrolled activity of the central nervous system of the parasites, eventually causing paralysis and death of these parasites.
