Bravecto Plus : Flea, Tick & Heartworm Spot on Treatment for Cat
Bravecto Plus is a revolutionary product for the treatment of fleas and ticks in cats. The product kills all the existing parasites within 24-48 hours and prevents the infestation of fleas from re-occurring for 2 months. It is the first and only product that provides protection against the Asian longhorned ticks along with black-legged ticks, and paralysis ticks. Bravecto Plus also eliminates roundworms and hookworms responsible for intestinal infections. Apart from this, Bravecto Plus also prevents heartworm disease by killing the microfilaria circulating in the blood. This spot-on treatment is highly effective for Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD) and thus, alleviates excessive itching.
How Bravecto Plus Works?
There are two active ingredients in Bravecto Plus – Fluralaner and Moxidectin. Where fluralaner acts on the nervous system of fleas and ticks, causing hyperactivity and death of these parasites, Moxidentin on the other hand acts on internal parasites like worms. It increases the permeability of cells in nematodes and arthropods which causes hyperpolarization, paralysis and death of the worms.
