Active Ingredient:

• Afoxolaner: An insecticide and acaricide belonging to the isoxazoline class. Afoxolaner works by blocking ligand-gated chloride channels, specifically those gated by the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This results in hyperexcitation of the flea and tick nervous system and their subsequent death. Isoxazolines have been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures.
