How does Nexgard Plus work?
Nexgard Plus is made of afoxolaner, moxidectin and pyrantel (as pamoate salt). Afoxolaner inhibits neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid chloride channels, blocking the transfer of chloride ions across cell membranes. This results in uncontrolled activity of the nervous system and death of fleas and ticks.
Moxidectin interferes with neurotransmission in susceptible parasites causing paralysis and death of parasites, preventing heartworm disease caused by dirofilaria immitis. Pyrantel causes depolarization at the neuromuscular junction which results in paralysis and death of parasites such as roundworms and hookworms.
