BRAVECTO Topical Solution for Dogs should be applied topically as directed by your veterinarian.
Manufacturer Dosage and Administration:
Bravecto Topical Solution should be administered topically as a single dose every 12 weeks according to your dog’s body weight to provide a minimum dose of 11.4 mg/lb (25 mg/kg) body weight.
Bravecto Topical Solution may be administered every 8 weeks in case of potential exposure to Amblyomma americanum (lone star ticks).
Step 1: Immediately before use, open the pouch and remove the tube. Hold the tube at the crimped end with the cap in an upright position (tip up). The cap should be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise one full turn. The cap is designed to stay on the tube for dosing and should not be removed. The tube is open and ready for application when a breaking of the seal is felt.
Step 2: The dog should be standing or lying with its back horizontal during application. Part the fur at the administration site. Place the tube tip vertically against the skin between the shoulder blades of the dog.
Step 3: Squeeze the tube and gently apply Bravecto in one or more spots starting between the shoulder blades and continuing along the dog's back. Avoid applying an excessive amount of solution in any one spot which may cause some solution to run or drip off of the dog.
Bathing or water immersion 3 days after administration will not reduce the effectiveness of Bravecto against fleas and Ixodes ricinus ticks.
Treatment with Bravecto may begin at any time of the year and can continue year-round without interruption.
Missed doses
If a dose is missed: apply BRAVECTO Topical Solution as soon as you remember, then wait for the full prescribed dosing interval prior to administering the next dose. Do not apply two doses at once.
If you have questions about your pet’s prescribed dosing schedule (e.g., timing, interval), please consult your veterinarian.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (at or below 86°F). Keep out of the reach of children and pets. The medication should remain sealed in its original packaging to protect from moisture. The pouch should only be opened immediately prior to use. Store away from heat and direct sunlight.
Do not store in the bathroom, near the kitchen sink, or in damp places. The medicine may break down if exposed to heat or moisture.
Side effects
BRAVECTO Topical Solution is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects of this medication are application site reactions (e.g., hair loss, redness, irritation), vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, drowsiness/lethargy, salivation, and dermatitis/rash.
Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet experiences severe or persistent vomiting, complete loss of appetite, has a seizure or any other neurologic adverse reaction (e.g., tremors, loss of coordination, weakness), or if any signs of a hypersensitivity reaction (e.g., hives, swelling) occur.
