How Afoxolaner Works?
NexGard (Afoxolaner) is a tasty beef-flavored chewable tablet that protects dogs against fleas, ticks, mites, and lice. NexGard protects against brown dogs, bush, and deadly paralysis ticks. NexGard is a monthly tablet that is given all year round in areas where paralysis ticks are common. Afoxolaner belongs to the isoxazoline drug class. NexGard works quickly, entering the bloodstream within 30 minutes of ingestion, killing fleas within four hours, and ticks within 12 hours.
