Indications & Clinical Uses

Bravecto is an ectoparasiticide used to control flea and tick infestations in companion animals.

  • Flea infestation: eliminates existing fleas and prevents new infestations in dogs and cats.
  • Tick infestation (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Dermacentor variabilis): kills attached ticks and helps prevent tick‑borne diseases in dogs.

How It Works

  • Fluralaner acts by inhibiting arthropod GABA‑ and glutamate‑gated chloride channels, leading to uncontrolled neuronal activity and death of fleas and ticks. This selective action spares mammalian nervous systems, providing systemic protection after oral administration.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions to Bravecto are generally uncommon but can occur.

Common Side Effects

  • Vomiting: occasional mild to moderate episodes.
  • Diarrhea: transient loose stools.
  • Decreased appetite: reduced food intake.
  • Lethargy: mild temporary fatigue.
  • Skin irritation: localized pruritus or redness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Seizures: rare neurologic events, especially in predisposed animals.
  • Severe allergic reaction: anaphylaxis with facial swelling or difficulty breathing.
  • Hepatic abnormalities: elevated liver enzymes in isolated cases.
  • Severe skin reactions: extensive dermatitis or ulceration.

Precautions & Warnings

When using Bravecto, consider the following safety measures.

  • Pregnancy and lactation: safety not established; consult a veterinarian before use.
  • Age restrictions: not recommended for puppies under eight weeks of age.
  • Weight considerations: dosage is weight‑based; ensure accurate weight measurement.
  • Hypersensitivity: avoid in animals with known allergy to isoxazolines.
  • Concurrent illness: use caution in animals with a history of seizures.
  • Store at room temperature below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Bravecto may interact with other medications; monitor accordingly.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Co‑administration with other isoxazoline ectoparasiticides: risk of additive neurotoxicity.
  • Use with seizure‑lowering drugs (e.g., phenobarbital): may increase seizure risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Concurrent glucocorticoids: observe for gastrointestinal upset.
  • Other oral medications: monitor for potential absorption changes.
  • Antifungal agents: watch for altered plasma levels of fluralaner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bravecto is an ectoparasiticide indicated for the treatment and prevention of flea (Ctenocephalides felis) and tick (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Dermacentor variabilis) infestations in dogs and cats. It provides systemic protection after a single oral dose.

Fluralaner, the active ingredient in Bravecto, blocks arthropod GABA‑ and glutamate‑gated chloride channels. This disruption causes uncontrolled neuronal firing in fleas and ticks, leading to paralysis and death while sparing the host’s nervous system.

The dose of Bravecto is determined by the animal’s weight and prescribed by a veterinarian. The product is supplied in chewable tablets calibrated for specific weight ranges, and the prescriber selects the appropriate tablet for each patient.

Safety data for Bravecto in pregnant or lactating dogs and cats are limited. Veterinarians should weigh the benefits against potential risks and may recommend alternative control measures if there are concerns.

To order Bravecto, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.

Bravecto’s long‑acting isoxazoline formulation provides up to 12 weeks of protection with a single oral dose, whereas many alternative products require monthly administration. Its mechanism targets chloride channels, differing from older insecticides that act on acetylcholinesterase or nicotinic receptors.

Bravecto should be stored at room temperature below 25 °C, in its original packaging, and protected from moisture and direct sunlight. This helps maintain the stability of the chewable tablet until the expiration date.

Bravecto is given orally as a chewable tablet. The tablet should be offered as a treat or mixed with food, ensuring the animal consumes the entire dose. Administration is typically performed by the pet owner or a veterinary professional.

Serious adverse events, though rare, include seizures, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, and significant hepatic disturbances. Owners should monitor pets for neurological signs or systemic reactions and seek veterinary care promptly if they occur.

Bravecto should not be used in puppies younger than eight weeks, in animals with a known hypersensitivity to fluralaner or other isoxazolines, and in pets with a history of seizures unless a veterinarian determines the benefits outweigh the risks.
