NexGard COMBO

What is NexGard COMBO?

NexGard COMBO is a veterinary antiparasitic medication intended exclusively for cats. It is a topical solution (pipette) applied directly to the skin, usually at the base of the neck where the cat cannot lick. Its innovative formula combines three well-recognized active ingredients: esafoxolaner, eprinomectin, and praziquantel.
This combination provides broad-spectrum action, targeting both external and internal parasites. NexGard COMBO stands out for its ease of use and the fact that a single product covers multiple antiparasitic needs, reducing the number of treatments required for your cat.
Specifically developed for the feline species, NexGard COMBO is widely used in Canada as part of veterinarian-recommended prevention programs.

What is NexGard COMBO used for?

NexGard COMBO is used to protect cats against a wide range of parasites. It acts against external parasites such as fleas, while also treating and preventing several internal parasites, including certain intestinal worms.
Thanks to its combined action, NexGard COMBO helps preserve your cat’s overall health by reducing the risk of multiple infestations, which can cause discomfort, digestive issues, or other complications if left untreated.
When administered regularly, NexGard COMBO fits perfectly into a monthly prevention strategy and is especially useful for indoor and outdoor cats, or those in contact with other animals.

Dosage

NexGard COMBO dosage is determined based on the cat’s weight. It is essential to use the pipette corresponding to the correct weight range to ensure optimal effectiveness and safe use.
Available presentations include:

• Cats under 2.5 kg: box of six 0.3 mL pipettes
• Cats weighing 2.5 to 7.4 kg: box of six 0.9 mL pipettes

Each pipette contains a precise concentration of active ingredients (esafoxolaner, eprinomectin, and praziquantel) adapted to the animal’s weight. NexGard COMBO must not be used in cats weighing less than the recommended range for the selected presentation. Your veterinarian will determine the appropriate format at the time of prescription.

How and how often should I give NexGard COMBO to my pet?

NexGard COMBO is administered topically using a ready-to-use pipette. The contents of the pipette should be applied directly onto the skin, usually between the shoulder blades or at the base of the neck, after parting the fur.
The dosing frequency is monthly. One application per month helps maintain continuous protection against the targeted parasites. It is recommended to apply the product on the same date each month to ensure consistent prevention and avoid missed doses.
After application, prevent the cat from licking the treated area or having close contact with other animals until the solution has dried. Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions and those provided on the product packaging.
