Safety/Warnings

No adverse reactions were observed following topical administration to puppies aged 8-9 weeks and weighing 2.0-3.7 kg treated with overdoses of up to 5 times the maximum recommended dose (56 mg, 168 mg and 280 mg fluralaner/kg body weight) on three occasions at shorter intervals than recommended (8-week intervals).

The safety of fluralaner in breeding, pregnant and lactating dogs has been demonstrated. Bravecto spot-on can be used in breeding, pregnant and lactating dogs. There were no findings on reproductive performance and no findings of concern on offspring viability when fluralaner was administered orally to Beagle dogs at overdoses of up to 3 times the maximum recommended dose (up to 168 mg/kg body weight of fluralaner).

Fluralaner was well tolerated in Collies with a deficient multidrug-resistance-protein 1 (MDR1 -/-) following single oral administration at 3 times the maximum recommended dose (168 mg/kg body weight). No treatment-related clinical signs were observed.

Less than 1.5% of dogs treated in clinical trials developed mild and transient skin reactions such as erythema (reddened skin) or hair loss at the application site.

Fluralaner is part of the isoxazoline family of chemicals. Adverse reactions to this family of chemicals are rarely observed but may include vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, inappetence, itching and very rarely neurological signs including tremors, ataxia and seizures. Most adverse reactions are self-limiting and of short duration. If you have any concerns, please speak to your veterinarian.

The safety has not been established in puppies less than 8 weeks old and/or dogs weighing less than 2 kg. The safety has not been established for treatment with this product when administered at intervals shorter than 8 weeks.
