How does NexGard Spectra work?

Nexgard Spectra contains afoxolaner and milbemycin oxime as its active ingredient. Afoxolaner induces hyperexcitation in insects and acarines, causing uncontrolled activity of the central nervous system of the parasites and killing them. Milbemycin Oxime disrupts hyperpolarisation in the neuromuscular membrane of the internal parasites resulting in paralysis and death of the parasites.
