Ticks
 
Controls new infestations of paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus) with monthly treatments

In some cats, optimal control may take up to a week after the first treatment
During this time, additional vigilance in daily searching and removal of ticks is recommended.
When administered at monthly intervals, NEXGARD SPECTRA continuously controls new infestations of paralysis ticks for a full month
NOTE: As NEXGARD SPECTRA may not kill all ticks attached when cats are first treated, any ticks present at the time of first treatment should be removed
Ixodes holocyclus ticks do not occur in Western Australia
In tick season, daily searching for, and removal of, any ticks found is recommended
