How does Credelio for Dogs work?

Credelio by Elanco contains lotilaner as its active ingredient. Lotilaner is an ectoparasiticide that works by targeting the nervous system of fleas and ticks. It blocks specific receptors responsible for nerve signal transmission. This causes uncontrolled nerve activity in the parasites, leading to paralysis and death.

After oral administration, Credelio (lotilaner) is absorbed into the bloodstream. When fleas and ticks attach and begin feeding on the dog, they ingest lotilaner and are rapidly killed, helping stop infestations and protect the dog from parasite-related irritation and disease transmission.

One palatable chew of Credelio (6.1-12.0 lbs) delivers 112.5 mg of lotilaner for effective flea and tick control.
