NexGard (active ingredient: afoxolaner) is a prescription chewable medication used in dogs to treat and help prevent flea infestations and to treat and control certain tick infestations.

Flea Control

NexGard is used to kill adult fleas and help prevent flea infestations caused by Ctenocephalides felis, the common cat flea. By killing fleas, NexGard can help reduce itching, scratching, and discomfort caused by flea bites.

Tick Control

NexGard is also used to treat and control certain tick infestations in dogs, including ticks such as:

  • Black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis)
  • American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis)
  • European dog tick (Dermacentor reticulatus)
  • Brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus)

Tick control is important because ticks can attach to dogs, feed on their blood, and may spread certain diseases.

How NexGard Works

NexGard belongs to a class of medications called isoxazolines. It works by interfering with the nervous system of fleas and ticks. This causes the parasites to become overexcited and die.

NexGard is intended for use in dogs only and should be given exactly as directed by a veterinarian.

NexGard is a prescription chewable tablet used in dogs to help control flea and tick infestations. Give NexGard exactly as directed by your veterinarian.

NexGard can be given with or without food. It is usually given once a month, and it should be given consistently to help protect your dog from fleas and ticks throughout the year.

If a Dose Is Missed or Vomited

If you think a dose was missed, lost, or not fully swallowed, contact your veterinarian for guidance.

If your dog vomits within 2 hours of receiving NexGard, another full dose may be needed. If vomiting continues, contact your veterinarian before giving more medication.

Weight-Based Dosage

The correct NexGard dose is based on your dog’s body weight. The recommended minimum dose is 1.14 mg/lb., or 2.5 mg/kg, of afoxolaner.

Your veterinarian will recommend the correct chewable strength based on your dog’s current weight. Do not split or adjust the dose unless your veterinarian tells you to do so.

Flea Prevention in the Home

To help reduce the risk of flea reinfestation, all pets in the household may need flea control treatment with an appropriate product. Use only products that are safe for each animal, as some dog flea and tick medications are not safe for cats or other pets.

Always speak with your veterinarian before giving NexGard or any flea and tick medication, especially if your dog has a history of seizures, neurologic problems, illness, pregnancy, or is taking other medications.

Common Side Effects of NexGard (Afoxolaner):

  • Diarrhea
  • Itching
  • Lack of appetite
  • Lethargy
  • Vomiting

NexGard (Afoxolaner) is available in the following forms and strength:

NexGard: Chewable Tablet

  • 11 mg
  • 136 mg

Before giving NexGard to your dog, talk to your veterinarian about your dog’s health history, current medications, and any previous reactions to flea or tick products.

Neurologic Side Effects

NexGard belongs to the isoxazoline class of flea and tick medications. In rare cases, medications in this class have been associated with neurologic side effects, including tremors, loss of coordination (ataxia), and seizures.

Use NexGard with caution in dogs that have a history of seizures or neurologic disorders. Contact your veterinarian right away if your dog develops shaking, stumbling, weakness, unusual behavior, or seizure-like activity after taking NexGard.

Pregnancy, Breeding, and Lactation

The safe use of NexGard has not been evaluated in pregnant, breeding, or lactating dogs. If your dog is pregnant, nursing, or intended for breeding, speak with your veterinarian before using NexGard. Your veterinarian can help decide whether NexGard is appropriate or whether another flea and tick prevention option may be safer.

Missed, Lost, or Vomited Dose

Give NexGard exactly as prescribed based on your dog’s current body weight. If a dose is missed, give the usual dose as soon as you remember, then continue with the regular once-monthly dosing schedule.

If you think the dose was lost, not fully swallowed, or if your dog vomits within 2 hours of taking NexGard, contact your veterinarian. Another full dose may be recommended depending on the situation.

Follow Weight-Based Dosing

NexGard dosing is based on your dog’s weight. Do not split, adjust, or give extra doses unless your veterinarian tells you to do so. Giving the wrong dose may reduce protection or increase the risk of side effects.

Important Reminder

NexGard is for dogs only and should be used under veterinary guidance. Keep the chewables out of reach of children and other pets, and contact your veterinarian if you notice any unusual symptoms after administration.

How fast does NexGard kill fleas?

NexGard starts killing fleas within 4 hours after it is given. In a controlled laboratory study, NexGard showed greater than 99% effectiveness against fleas within 8 hours of the first dose.

How often should NexGard be given?

NexGard is usually given once a month. Give it on the same date each month, or as directed by your veterinarian, to help maintain continuous flea and tick protection.

What should I do if I miss a dose of NexGard?

If you miss a dose of NexGard, give the usual dose as soon as you remember. Then continue with the regular monthly dosing schedule. Do not give extra doses unless your veterinarian tells you to do so.

How quickly does NexGard work?

NexGard begins working after it is absorbed into your dog’s bloodstream. It starts killing fleas within 4 hours and begins killing ticks within 12 hours after administration. For best protection, give NexGard consistently once every month as prescribed by your veterinarian.
