What are the Key Ingredients in NexGard Chew for Dogs?
The active ingredient in NexGard is afoxolaner.
Inactive ingredients include: Corn starch, soy protein, fine sugar, flavouring and coating excipients.
Afoxolaner is an insecticide and acaricide belonging to the isoxazoline class. It works by blocking ligand-gated chloride channels, specifically those gated by the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). By blocking these channels, afoxolaner disrupts the normal function of the central nervous system in insects and acarines, leading to their paralysis and death. This mode of action provides effective control against fleas and ticks in dogs.
