About Nexgard Spectra 2 to 3.5kg
Ticks and fleas do more than itch. Ticks spread blood parasites, and heavy flea burdens cause skin disease and anaemia.
Nexgard Spectra 2 to 3.5kg is a chewable tablet from Boehringer Ingelheim that contains afoxolaner and milbemycin oxime. Afoxolaner is a flea and tick medicine from the isoxazoline group. Milbemycin oxime kills roundworms, hookworms and whipworms, and prevents heartworm.
It is used for fleas and ticks. Ask your vet whether it suits your dog, especially if your dog has a health condition or takes other medicines.

Features and Benefits
- One chew a month. A tasty chew that kills fleas and ticks for a month.
- Chewable and flavoured. Most pets take it as a treat, which makes dosing easier.
How It Works
- Afoxolaner. Fleas and ticks that bite are exposed to it, which overstimulates their nerves.
- Milbemycin oxime. It paralyses the nerves of worms and larvae.
How to Use
- Dose. Follow the dose on the pack or the amount your vet advises for your dog's weight.
- Giving it. Offer the tablet by hand as a treat, or hide it in a small piece of food. Check that the whole dose is eaten.
- Storage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, unless the pack gives other storage directions. Keep out of reach of children.
Safety and Precautions
- Use with care in dogs with a history of fits.
- Not for puppies under 8 weeks or dogs under 2kg.
- Dogs should be tested for heartworm before starting, because killing many larvae at once can cause a reaction.
- This product is labelled for dogs. Do not use it on cats or other animals unless your vet says so.
- Tell your vet about any other medicines your dog takes, and if your dog is pregnant, nursing or has liver or kidney problems.
