MSD Animal Health Bravecto (Fluralaner) Dog Tick & Flea Control Tablet (1 tablet)

Product Description

MSD Animal Health Bravecto Fluralaner Dog Tick & Flea Control Tablet - 12 Weeks of Protection. One Chew.

Monthly spot-ons require remembering every 30 days. Collars need daily monitoring. Shampoos and sprays work during the bath and fade fast. If you've been managing your dog's flea and tick protection reactively - treating infestations as they appear rather than preventing them consistently - Bravecto offers a fundamentally different experience.

One beef-flavoured chewable tablet. Given once every 12 weeks. Starts killing fleas in 2 hours, ticks in 12. Works from the inside, through the bloodstream - which means no residue on the coat, no separation from family members after application, and no worrying about whether last week's bath washed it off.

Bravecto is the world's most prescribed 12-week flea and tick chewable tablet, trusted by vets globally and widely recommended across India - where tick season is effectively year-round and tick-borne diseases like Ehrlichiosis and Babesiosis are a real, recurring threat. Marketed in India by Intervet India Pvt. Ltd. (MSD Animal Health).

Each tablet contains Fluralaner - an isoxazoline-class ectoparasiticide - dosed precisely by body weight:

Always select the variant that matches your dog's current body weight. Weigh your dog before every dose.

This is a prescription medication. Use only under veterinary supervision.

Four Doses a Year. Every Parasite That Matters. Nothing to Wash Off.

FAQs

What is MSD Bravecto used for in dogs?

Bravecto is a 12-week oral flea and tick chewable tablet for dogs containing Fluralaner - an isoxazoline-class ectoparasiticide. One tablet kills fleas within 2 hours and ticks within 12 hours of feeding, and maintains this protection for 12 weeks. It also treats Demodectic and Sarcoptic mange, ear mites, and prevents tapeworm transmission from fleas for the full 12-week period. Available in four weight variants from 2 kg to 40 kg.

Which Bravecto variant should I buy for my dog?

Choose the variant that matches your dog's current body weight - always weigh before each dose, not just the first one. The four variants available on Supertails cover 2-4.5 kg (112.5 mg Fluralaner), 4.5-10 kg (250 mg), 10-20 kg (500 mg), and 20-40 kg (1000 mg). If your dog is at a weight boundary, confirm the correct variant with your vet. Never use a variant from a lower weight range on a heavier dog.

How quickly does Bravecto start working?

Bravecto starts killing fleas within 2 hours of being given and reaches over 98% flea kill within 8 hours. Ticks are killed within 12 hours of attaching and feeding. This speed is one of Bravecto's key advantages - fleas die before they can bite and lay eggs, which breaks the infestation cycle from the very first dose.

Does my dog need to fast before taking Bravecto?

The opposite - always give with food or immediately after a meal. Fluralaner's bioavailability is significantly higher when given with food, and the risk of digestive upset is lower. A full meal, not just a small treat, gives the best absorption results. Do not give on a completely empty stomach.

My dog has had seizures in the past. Is Bravecto safe?

Discuss this with your vet before giving Bravecto or any isoxazoline-class product. Neurological adverse events including tremors and seizures have been reported in rare cases in dogs with pre-existing seizure disorders or neurological conditions when given isoxazolines. This doesn't automatically disqualify your dog from using the product, but your vet must assess the risk-benefit balance for your dog's specific history and severity before prescribing.

Can I give Bravecto to my pregnant or nursing dog?

Yes - Bravecto is safe for use in breeding, pregnant, and lactating females based on available clinical data. This is confirmed in the product's prescribing information. Always inform your vet about every product your pregnant or nursing dog is given so they have complete visibility of her management during this period.

How is Bravecto different from a monthly spot-on like Frontline Plus?

Spot-ons like Frontline Plus sit on the skin and coat surface - they can be partially reduced by bathing, swimming, and thick coats, and need to be reapplied every 30 days. Bravecto works from the bloodstream - it cannot be washed off, is unaffected by coat thickness, and lasts 12 weeks per dose. Spot-ons kill parasites on contact with the coat; Bravecto kills them when they bite and feed. Both are vet-recommended - the right choice depends on your dog's lifestyle, coat type, and bathing frequency.

What should I do if my dog vomits after taking Bravecto?

If your dog vomits within an hour of taking the tablet, contact your vet - the dose may not have been fully absorbed and re-dosing may be needed. Going forward, always give with a full meal rather than on an empty stomach. If vomiting is a recurring problem with oral medications in general, let your vet know - they may recommend a different administration approach or an alternative flea and tick treatment format better suited to your dog.
