FRONTPRO Chewable Tablets Dog

Boehringer Ingelheim Frontpro 3 tablets

Frontpro is a veterinary medicine used to treat infestations with fleas and ticks, as well as demodectic and sarcoptic mange (skin infestations caused by two different types of mites) in dogs. It may be used as part of the management of flea allergy dermatitis (an allergic reaction to flea bites).

Frontpro contains the active substance afoxolaner. This medicine is the same as NexGard, which is already authorised in the European Union (EU). 
 

The active substance in Frontpro, afoxolaner, acts as an ‘ectoparasiticide’. This means that it kills parasites that live on or in the skin or in the fur of animals, such as fleas, ticks and mites. In order for the active substance to have an effect, fleas and ticks must attach to the skin and start feeding on the dog’s blood.

Afoxolaner kills parasites by causing over-stimulation of their nervous system. It blocks the normal movement of charged chloride particles (ions) in and out of nerve cells, especially those nerves that produce the substance gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to regulate the nervous system. This results in uncontrolled activity of the nervous system and the paralysis and death of fleas, ticks and mites. Afoxolaner kills fleas before they can lay eggs and so helps to reduce contamination of the dogs’ environment.
 

Frontpro is available as chewable tablets in four different strengths for use in dogs of different weights. The appropriate strength of tablets to be given is determined based on the dog’s bodyweight.

Frontpro kills fleas within 8 hours and ticks within 48 hours. After being given, its actions last for at least 4 weeks against fleas and up to one month against ticks. Treatment should be repeated at monthly intervals during the flea or tick seasons, monthly for demodectic mange until the mange is successfully treated (as confirmed by two negative skin scrapings one month apart) and monthly for two months for sarcoptic mange, or longer if treatment is unsuccessful as indicated by clinical signs and skin scrapings.
