Nexgard Spectra Chewable Tablet 30Kg - 60Kg

NexGard SPECTRA Chewable Tablets for Dogs (30.1–60 kg) 

Provide your large dog with complete parasite protection using NexGard SPECTRA Chewable Tablets, a vet-recommended solution designed for dogs weighing between 30.1 and 60 kg. This pack contains 1 chewable tablet, combining two powerful active ingredients—Afoxolaner and Milbemycin Oxime—to offer broad-spectrum protection against fleas, ticks, heartworm, and intestinal worms. Manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim, NexGard SPECTRA is a trusted choice for pet owners seeking an all-in-one parasite control solution in a convenient, palatable form.

How NexGard SPECTRA Works

NexGard SPECTRA combines two active ingredients to target a wide range of parasites:

• Afoxolaner: An isoxazoline-class insecticide and acaricide that targets the nervous system of fleas and ticks. After ingestion, Afoxolaner is absorbed into your dog’s bloodstream. When fleas or ticks bite, they ingest Afoxolaner, which overstimulates their nervous system, causing rapid paralysis and death.

• Milbemycin Oxime: A macrocyclic lactone that targets heartworm larvae and intestinal worms by interfering with their nerve transmission, leading to paralysis and death of the parasites.

This dual-action formula ensures:

• Flea Control: Kills adult fleas (Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis) before they can lay eggs, breaking the flea life cycle.

• Tick Control: Kills ticks (including Dermacentor reticulatus, Ixodes ricinus, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus) within 48 hours, reducing the risk of tick-borne diseases.

• Heartworm Prevention: Prevents heartworm disease (Dirofilaria immitis) by eliminating heartworm larvae.

• Intestinal Worm Control: Treats and controls roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina), hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense, Ancylostoma ceylanicum), and whipworms (Trichuris vulpis).

• Month-Long Protection: Each tablet provides 30 days of comprehensive parasite protection.

Key Benefits

• Broad-Spectrum Parasite Protection: Protects against fleas, ticks, heartworm, and intestinal worms in one convenient tablet.

• Fast-Acting Flea and Tick Control: Kills fleas within 8 hours and ticks within 48 hours, providing quick relief from infestations.

• Prevents Heartworm Disease: Eliminates heartworm larvae, protecting your dog from this potentially fatal condition.

• Controls Intestinal Worms: Treats and controls common intestinal parasites, supporting your dog’s overall health.

• Prevents Flea Infestations: Kills fleas before they can lay eggs, helping to prevent re-infestation and keeping your home flea-free.

• Reduces Risk of Tick-Borne Diseases: Effective against multiple tick species, lowering the risk of diseases like Lyme disease or babesiosis.

• Palatable Chewable Tablet: The beef-flavored chew is highly palatable, making it easy to administer—most dogs will eat it as a treat.

• Safe for Large Dogs: Suitable for dogs weighing 30.1–60 kg and at least 8 weeks of age, with a well-established safety profile when used as directed.

• Convenient Monthly Dosing: One tablet per month provides consistent, all-in-one protection, simplifying your pet care routine.

Dosage and Administration

NexGard SPECTRA is designed for dogs weighing between 30.1 and 60 kg. The recommended dosage is:

• 1 tablet per month for dogs in this weight range.

Administration Instructions:

1. Offer the tablet directly to your dog as a treat. Most dogs will readily accept the beef-flavored chew.

2. If your dog does not eat the tablet voluntarily, you can mix it with a small amount of food to ensure they consume the full dose.

3. Administer the tablet on the same day each month to maintain continuous protection.

4. Ensure your dog has access to fresh drinking water after administration.

Note: NexGard SPECTRA can be given with or without food. If your dog vomits within 2 hours of administration, re-dose with another tablet. Consult your veterinarian if vomiting persists or if you have concerns about dosing. For heartworm prevention, ensure the tablet is given monthly, ideally starting before mosquito season and continuing year-round in areas where heartworm is endemic.

Indications

NexGard SPECTRA is indicated for:

• Treatment and prevention of flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis).

• Treatment and control of tick infestations (Dermacentor reticulatus, Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus).

• Prevention of heartworm disease (Dirofilaria immitis).

• Treatment and control of intestinal worms, including roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina), hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense, Ancylostoma ceylanicum), and whipworms (Trichuris vulpis).
