Special Precautions

Afoxolaner, one of the ingredients in NexGard® PLUS chews, is a member of the isoxazoline class. This class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions including tremors, ataxia, and seizures. Seizures have been reported in dogs receiving isoxazoline class drugs, even in dogs without a history of seizures. Use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures or neurologic disorders. Treatment with fewer than six monthly doses after the last exposure to mosquitoes has not been evaluated and may not provide complete heartworm prevention. Prior to administration of NexGard PLUS chews, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection. At the discretion of the veterinarian, infected dogs should be treated with an adulticide to remove adult heartworms. NexGard PLUS chews are not effective against adult D. immitis. The safe use of NexGard PLUS chews in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs has not been evaluated.
