How does Trifexis Chewable Tablets for Dogs work?
Trifexis prevents flea infestations and protects your dog from parasites with one monthly tablet. The main ingredient in Trifexis is spinosad, which prevents and controls flea infestations by killing adult fleas. The primary target of action of spinosad is an activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in insects. Spinosad, starts to work within 30 minutes to kill fleas and has been proven to kill 100% of all biting fleas within 4 hours. Milbemycin oxime is the other active ingredient in Trifexis and is used to prevent heartworms. Milbemycin oxime kills adult hookworms, roundworms and whipworms. It kills the immature form of the heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis), which is transmitted to dogs by mosquitoes.
