Bravecto plus cat 250mg 2,8-6,25kg 1 pipette

Bravecto Plus for cats 250 mg is a spot-on pipette containing fluralaner and moxidectin, for cats weighing 2,8 to 6,25 kg. It acts against external and internal parasites: fleas, ticks, ear mites, gastrointestinal nematodes, and heartworm prevention.

What is it for

It is an endectoparasiticide, useful when fleas or ticks are present, or there is a risk of them being present, along with another susceptible parasite. It provides protection against fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and ticks (Ixodes ricinus) for 12 weeks, ear mites (Otodectes cynotis), roundworms (Toxocara cati and Ancylostoma tubaeforme), and heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) for 8 weeks. It can be integrated into flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) control programs.

How it is used

Part the hair at the base of the neck, in front of the shoulder blades, and empty the pipette directly onto the skin. Fleas and ticks must attach and begin feeding to be exposed to the fluralaner.

Composition and presentation

• 1 single-dose pipette.
• 250 mg of fluralaner and 12,5 mg of moxidectin per pipette.
• Weight range: 2,8 to 6,25 kg.
• Related presentations: 112,5 mg (1,2 to 2,8 kg) and 500 mg (6,25 to 12,5 kg).

Side Effects and Precautions

Mild and transient reactions at the application site (hair loss, scaling, itching) were common in clinical trials. Hypersalivation, vomiting, or respiratory distress were reported infrequently after the cat licked the area. The decision to use a combination with internal action, and when to repeat it, rests with the veterinarian: consult your veterinarian.

FAQ

When is this pipette suitable instead of a regular flea pipette?

When, in addition to fleas or ticks, you have to deal with ear mites, intestinal worms or heartworm prevention.

Why does protection against heartworm last for a shorter time?

The manufacturer states that it provides 8 weeks of protection against Dirofilaria immitis and 12 weeks of protection against fleas and ticks. These are separate actions with different durations.

Can it cause skin reactions?

Yes. Mild and transient reactions at the application site were frequently observed in the trials: alopecia, flaking, or itching.

What happens if the cat licks the area?

Infrequently, hypersalivation, vomiting, or respiratory distress have been reported after licking the application site.

Is it suitable for a 7 kg cat?

No. That weight corresponds to the 500 mg presentation, which covers 6,25 to 12,5 kg.

Which pipette is appropriate for a small kitten?

A cat weighing between 1,2 and 2,8 kg uses the 112,5 mg presentation, not the 250 mg one.
