Dosage and Administration:

NexGard PLUS is given orally once a month at the minimum dosage of 1.14 mg/lb (2.5 mg/kg) afoxolaner, 5.45 mcg/lb (12 mcg/kg) moxidectin, and 2.27 mg/lb (5.0 mg/kg) pyrantel (as pamoate salt)

For heartworm disease prevention, give one monthly for at least six months after last exposure to mosquitoes.

Dosing Schedule:

*As pamoate salt.

NexGard PLUS can be administered with or without food. Care should be taken to ensure that the dog consumes the complete dose and that part of the dose is not lost or refused. If a dose is missed, administer NexGard PLUS and resume a monthly dosing schedule.

Heartworm Prevention:

NexGard PLUS should be administered at monthly intervals year-round or, at a minimum, administration should start within one month of the dog’s first seasonal exposure to mosquitoes and should continue at monthly intervals until at least six months after the dog’s last exposure (see Effectiveness). When replacing another monthly heartworm preventive product, the first dose of NexGard PLUS should be given within a month of the last dose of the former medication.

Flea Treatment and Prevention:

NexGard PLUS should be administered year-round at monthly intervals or started at least one month before fleas become active. To minimize the likelihood of flea reinfestation, it is important to treat all animals within a household with an approved flea control product.

Tick Treatment and Control:

NexGard Plus should be administered year-round at monthly intervals or started at least one month before ticks become active.

Intestinal Nematode Treatment and Control:

NexGard PLUS treats and controls adult hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense, and Uncinaria stenocephala) and roundworms (Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina). For the treatment of adult hookworm and roundworm infections, NexGard PLUS should be administered as a single dose. Monthly use of NexGard PLUS will control any subsequent infections. Dogs may be exposed to and can become infected with hookworms and roundworms throughout the year, regardless of season or climate.

Contraindications:

There are no known contraindications for the use of NexGard Plus.

Warnings:

Not for use in humans. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion, contact a physician for treatment advice.

Keep Nexgard Plus in a secure location out of the reach of dogs, cats, and other animals to prevent accidental ingestion or overdose.

Precautions:

Afoxolaner, one of the ingredients in NexGard PLUS, is a member of the isoxazoline class. This class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions including tremors, ataxia, and seizures. Seizures have been reported in dogs receiving isoxazoline class drugs, even in dogs without a history of seizures. Use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures or neurologic disorders.

Treatment with fewer than six monthly doses after the last exposure to mosquitoes has not been evaluated and may not provide complete heartworm prevention.

Prior to administration of NexGard PLUS, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection. At the discretion of the veterinarian, infected dogs should be treated with an adulticide to remove adult heartworms. NexGard PLUS is not effective against adult D. immitis.

The safe use of NexGard PLUS in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs has not been evaluated.
