Bravecto Plus for Cats

Bravecto® Plus for Cats is a topical, systemic antiparasitic treatment designed to provide broad-spectrum protection against fleas, ticks and selected internal parasites.

Its active ingredients provide long-lasting parasite control, with the supplied product information indicating up to 3 months of activity against fleas and ticks. Newly emerged fleas are killed before they can produce viable eggs, helping to interrupt the flea life cycle and contribute to control of environmental flea populations in areas accessible to treated cats.

Bravecto Plus is also indicated for the treatment of ear mites, prevention of heartworm disease for 3 months, and treatment of infestations with intestinal roundworms and hookworms.

It can also form part of a veterinary treatment strategy for cats affected by flea allergy dermatitis (FAD).

Important: Bravecto Plus is a veterinary antiparasitic medicine. Use only according to the product label and your veterinarian's advice, particularly where a cat has an existing medical condition or is receiving other medication.
