NEXGARD
can be administered with or without food.
Care should be taken that the dog consumes the complete dose, and
treated animals should be
observed for a few minutes to ensure that part of the dose is not lost
or rejected. If it is suspected
that any of the dose has been lost, or vomiting occurs within 2 hours
of administration, redose
with another full dose. If a dose is missed, administer
NEXGARD
and resume a monthly dosing
regimen. To be effective,
NEXGARD
should be administered every 30 days.
_Flea Treatment and Prevention:_
For prevention of flea infestation, NEXGARD
should be administered ideally just before fleas
become active. To minimize the likelihood of flea reinfestation, it is
important to treat all animals
within a household with an approved flea control product.
