NexGard Combo for Cats

NexGard Combo for Cats

Nexgard Combo is an anti-parasitic monthly spot-on treatment used to treat both internal and external parasites in cats. Nexgard combo treats external parasites like fleas, ticks, ear mites or skin mites, and internal intestinal parasites like hookworms, tapeworms and roundworms. It can also be used to treat lungworms that infect the bladder. Nexgard combo also prevents heartworms and can be used as part of the management of flea allergy dermatitis.

Nexgard Combo – Topical Treatment for Cats

Nexgard Combo contains three main ingredients, Esafoxolaner, Eprinomectin and Praziquantel, which work in different ways to kill external and internal parasites.

Esafoxolaner, being an ectoparasiticide, works on the external parasites that live on the fur of the cat. It interrupts the neurotransmission of the external parasites, resulting in uncontrolled activity of the parasite’s nervous system and death.

The other two ingredients, Eprinomectin and Praziquantel, are endoparasiticides. They work on the internal parasites that live inside the cat’s body. Prazoquantel kills tapeworms by damaging their cell membranes, and Eprinomectin kills roundworms by paralyzing their nervous systems.

Note: NexGard Combo is safe to use on cats older than 8 weeks of age.
