NexGard is indicated for the prevention of Borrelia burgdorferi infections as a direct result of killing Ixodes scapularis vector ticks.
NexGard is given orally once a month.
NexGard can be administered with or without food. Care should be taken that the dog consumes the complete dose, and treated animals should be observed for a few minutes to ensure that part of the dose is not lost or refused. If it is suspected that any of the doses have been lost or if vomiting occurs within two hours of administration, re-dose with another full dose. If a dose is missed, administer NexGard and resume a monthly dosing schedule.
