How does Stronghold Plus for Cats work?

The active ingredients in Stronghold Plus Spot-On Solution for Cats are selamectin and sarolaner. Selamectin works to attack the nervous system of parasites to paralyse and kill them. It mimics an important amino acid and disrupts the parasite’s nerve cells. While sarolaner works by overstimulating parasites, which also effectively kills them.

Because the solution is designed to be applied to the skin, rather than ingested by your animal, it can also help to reduce the risk of parasitic diseases.
