Bravecto (Fluralaner) Chewable Tablets for Dogs, 12-Week Flea & Tick Prevention

Bravecto Chewable Tablets are a long-acting veterinary systemic antiparasitic medication formulated for oral administration in dogs to provide extended, 12-week protection against flea and tick infestations. Containing the active isoxazoline compound fluralaner, this professional-grade therapeutic preparation delivers rapid and sustained ectoparasiticidal efficacy, killing adult fleas, black-legged ticks, American dog ticks, and brown dog ticks for nearly three full months from a single dose. Because long-acting parasite prevention requires accurate weight-based dosing and veterinary oversight, administration must follow strict product labeling and clinical guidance.

What Is Bravecto?

Bravecto is a specialized veterinary systemic parasiticidal compound formulated for extended oral delivery under professional veterinary supervision.

Active Ingredients and Formulation

• Active Component: Fluralaner at distinct concentrations per chew based on weight tiers (112.5 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg, 1000 mg, or 1400 mg). It acts as a systemic isoxazoline ectoparasiticide that inhibits arthropod nervous systems by blocking GABA-gated and L-glutamate-gated chloride channels.

• Vehicle and Presentation: Supplied as savory, pork-liver flavored soft chewable tablets packaged individually in blister packs, formulated across five distinct weight categories for dogs and puppies 6 months of age and older weighing 4.4 lbs or more.

What Is It Used For?

Primary Veterinary Indications

• Extended Flea Infestation Control: Routinely prescribed by veterinarians to treat and prevent flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis) for a full 12 weeks, killing adult fleas before they can lay viable eggs.

• Tick Management: Eliminates and controls four major tick species (Ixodes scapularis, Dermacentor variabilis, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, and Amblyomma americanum) for 12 weeks, and lone star ticks (Amblyomma maculatum) for 8 weeks.

Administration and Dosage Considerations

Route and Dosing

• Route of Administration: Administered orally as a single dose once every 12 weeks, preferably given with or immediately following a meal to optimize systemic absorption.

• Weight-Based Dosing Tiers:

  • 4.4 to 9.9 lbs (Extra Small, 112.5 mg fluralaner)

  • 9.9 to 22.0 lbs (Small, 250 mg fluralaner)

  • 22.0 to 44.0 lbs (Medium, 500 mg fluralaner)

Important Safety Information

• Contraindications: Do not use in cats or other animal species. Do not administer to dogs with known hypersensitivity to fluralaner. Use with caution in dogs with a history of neurological disorders, tremors, or seizures.

• Side Effects and Precautions: Generally exceptionally well tolerated. Occasional adverse reactions may include vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, flatulence, or lethargy. As an isoxazoline product, fluralaner has been rarely associated with neurological signs such as tremors, ataxia, or seizures in susceptible animals.

• Professional Guidance: Ensure dogs consume the entire chew and do not break or lose portions to guarantee full 12-week therapeutic efficacy.
