How does Nexgard for dogs work?
Nexgard's active ingredient, afoxolaner, is an ectoparasiticide. This means it destroys parasites like fleas, ticks, and mites that dwell on or in the skin or fur of the animals. Fleas and ticks must cling to the dog's skin and begin feeding on his blood in order for the active chemical to work. Afoxolaner kills parasites by forcing their nervous systems to overstimulate. It prevents the normal flow of charged chloride ions into and out of nerve cells, particularly those connected with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter. Fleas, ticks, and mites are paralysed and die as a result. Afoxolaner removes fleas before they can produce eggs, which helps to keep the environment clean for dogs.
