How does Simparica Chewable Tablets work?
Simparica is a great tasting chew. It contains the powerful ingredient – sarolaner. It is an acaricide and insecticide belonging to the isoxazoline group. It seeps into the blood stream and inhibits the function of the neurotransmitter gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor and glutamate receptor working at the neuromuscular junction insects and safely delivers persistent continuous protection against fleas and ticks for up to 35 days. This results in uncontrolled neuromuscular activity leading to death in insects or acarines.
Important Note: Please consult your vet before buying this product. Dogs with a history of seizure should only be treated after consulting a vet.
