What are Simparica Chewable Tablets for Dogs?

Simparica Chewable Tablets for Dogs are an effective, safe medicine used to protect dogs against fleas and ticks. Fast-acting, the tablets provide rapid relief and start killing fleas within 3 hours and ticks within 8 hours. The treatment lasts for 35 days so monthly use is sufficient to keep your dog protected year-round.

This medicine works rapidly on existing flea infestations and is also suitable for dogs with flea allergies. Its fast action means that fleas are killed before they can lay eggs, which stops the life cycle of the parasite and prevents infestation of your home.

You may also wish to use this medication in combination with a household spray to ensure that any larvae are eliminated from your house and its soft furnishings.

The medicine has been developed specifically for dogs. If you are looking to treat an infestation in a cat then be sure to request an appropriate alternative instead.

How does Simparica Chewable Tablets for Dogs work?

The active ingredient in Simparica Chewable Tablets for Dogs is sarolaner, which belongs to a group of medicines known as isoxazolines. It works by inhibiting parasites and their nervous system to kill them.
