Pharmacological properties
Bravecto Spot-On belongs to insectoacaricidal drugs of systemic action.

The mechanism of action of fluralaner consists in blocking GABA-dependent and glutamate-dependent receptors in arthropods, hyperexcitation of neurons, impaired transmission of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and death of ectoparasites.

Mode of application
The product is applied once by drip application (“spot on”) on dry intact skin. To do this, you need to take the pipette out of the package and hold it vertically. Then turn the tightly closed pipette cap clockwise or counterclockwise one full turn. The cap under the lid must remain intact for proper application of the drug. When opening the pipette, a click should be heard, which means that the package is open. Then you need to remove the cover and you can apply the drug. To do this, it is necessary to push the animal’s fur between the shoulder blades at the base of the neck so that the skin is visible and, pressing the pipette, apply the solution to the skin in places inaccessible for licking (in the neck area, at the base of the skull or between the shoulder blades). The drug should be administered topically as a single dose every 12 weeks.

To destroy ixodid ticks, 1 drop of the agent is applied to the tick and the place of its attachment to the skin. If the tick does not fall off within 20 minutes, it is carefully pulled out of the skin with tweezers and destroyed.
