Indications | For the treatment and prevention of flea infestations, control of ticks and mites, prevention of heartworm disease, and treatment and control of intestinal worms in cats and kittens from 8 weeks of age. NEXGARD SPECTRA controls adult fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and treats and prevents flea infestations for at least 5 weeks. NEXGARD SPECTRA kills (>95% efficacy) newly acquired adult fleas before they can lay eggs, and therefore prevents environmental flea contamination by preventing egg laying for at least one month. NEXGARD SPECTRA controls flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). NEXGARD SPECTRA controls new infestations of paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus) with monthly treatments. NEXGARD SPECTRA starts controlling newly acquired paralysis ticks after 48 hours of the first treatment. In some cats, optimal control may take up to a week after the first treatment. During this time, additional vigilance in daily searching and removal of ticks is recommended. When administered at monthly intervals, NEXGARD SPECTRA continuously controls new infestations of paralysis ticks for a full month. NOTE: As NEXGARD SPECTRA may not kill all ticks attached when cats are first treated, any ticks present at the time of first treatment should be removed. Ixodes holocyclus ticks do not occur in Western Australia. In tick season, daily searching for, and removal of, any ticks found is recommended. NEXGARD SPECTRA treats and controls bush ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis) for one month. Bush ticks were killed (>95% efficacy) within 48 hours after treatment. NEXGARD SPECTRA treats and controls ear mite (Otodectes cynotis) infestations and notoedric mange caused by Notoedres cati. NEXGARD SPECTRA treats and controls gastrointestinal roundworms (Toxocara cati [L3, L4 and adult], Toxascaris leonina [adult]), and hookworms (Ancylostoma tubaeforme [L4 and adult], Ancylostoma ceylanicum [L4 and adult]), and Ancylostoma braziliense [adult]). NEXGARD SPECTRA treats and controls Dipylidium caninum and Taenia taeniaeformis tapeworms. NEXGARD SPECTRA prevents heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis. NEXGARD SPECTRA treats and controls lungworm (Aelurostrongylus abstrusus). A single dose of NEXGARD SPECTRA is effective against L3, L4 and adult A. abstrusus. Two consecutive, monthly doses are effective against all stages (L3, L4, immature and adult) of A. abstrusus. Consult a veterinarian if worm problems persist. Monthly application is recommended. |
