How does Credelio work?
Credelio contains the ingredient, lotilaner, which is an
antiparasitic drug that kills the fleas and ticks that live on your pet's body
surface. Lotilaner blocks the transfer of chloride ions from passing through
cell membranes, which causes uncontrolled neuromuscular activity and results in
the death of fleas and ticks. Credelio starts killing fleas within 4 hours of
administration and kills over 99% of fleas within 8 hours of administration.
Credelio starts killing ticks* in 4 hours and 98.7% killed within 8 hours.
*(Ixodes ricinus)
