Attention Clients

Recently the FDA released an announcement of ANY of the newer flea and tick medications containing the “isoxazoline” class drug, having the possibility of causing seizures, tremors and ataxia in dogs who use ANY of the following drugs, Nexgard, Simparica, Credelio and Bravecto. At this time, we have only been carrying Bravecto from this grouping. At the time of this writing, we ourselves have not had any reaction of that sort in the 4 plus years we have been prescribing it. In speaking to the manufacturer of Bravecto, their data showed that they had a less than 1 in 10,000 reaction of that sort. which the FDA considered rare. After this amount of time, the FDA has seen enough data across all the manufacturers to feel that all the companies that make this type of product, should include this warning on the package insert to notify people of these possibilities. Again, at this time, we ourselves, have not seen this reaction from the Bravecto that we have prescribed to our patients over the past 4 plus years, but if you have any concerns, please feel free to call our office.
