Nexgard is an oral medication used in dogs to control and prevent flea and tick infestations. It contains afoxolaner, an active ingredient that affects the nervous system of parasites, leading to their elimination after they bite the host. Administered as a chewable tablet, it is typically given once a month for continuous protection. The treatment begins working quickly and helps reduce the risk of diseases transmitted by external parasites. Proper dosage depends on the dog’s weight and health condition. Veterinary consultation is generally advised to ensure safe use, monitor effectiveness, and address any potential side effects or sensitivities.
