Frequently Asked Questions
What is Simparica Trio for dogs?
Simparica Trio is a liver-flavoured chewable tablet for dogs, designed to provide up to 30 days of protection against fleas, ticks and certain types of mites. The active ingredient in Simparica Trio is sarolaner, which starts killing fleas within 3 hours of ingestion and has a 100% efficacy within 8 hours after administration. This can be especially helpful for dogs with flea allergy dermatitis, as it reduces the itching and associated skin issues. Simparica Trio can also be used to treat and control sarcoptic mange and ear mites.
Simparica Trio should not be given to puppies less than 6 months old or weighing less than 2.8 lbs unless directed by a veterinarian. As with all medications, always consult with a veterinarian before starting Simparica Trio to ensure it’s the right choice for your pet.
What is Simparica Trio good for?
Simparica Trio can be used to prevent heartworms, fleas, tapeworms, ticks, intestinal worms and mites and mange.
How does Simparica Trio work?
Simparica Trio contains the active ingredient sarolaner, which belongs to the class of drugs known as isoxazolines. Here's how Simparica Trio works to control fleas, ticks and certain mites in dogs:
• Targets the nervous system: Sarolaner acts on the nervous system of fleas, ticks and some mites. It inhibits the function of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channels and glutamate-gated chloride channels. This results in uncontrolled nerve activity in the pests, leading to their paralysis and death.
• Begins rapid onset: After administration, Simparica Trio begins killing fleas within 4 hours and ticks within 8 hours.
• Provides a long-lasting effect: A single dose of Simparica Trio provides protection for up to 30 days. This means the drug continues to circulate in the dog's bloodstream, killing fleas and ticks that bite the dog for a month after administration.
We recommend always following the suggested dosing regimen and consulting with a veterinarian regarding the use of Simparica Trio or any other treatments for your pet.
How long does Simparica Trio last?
Typically, Simparica Trio lasts for one month (30 days). After administering, it starts killing fleas within 4 hours and ticks within 24 hours. It's essential to give your dog a Simparica Trio tablet every month to maintain continuous protection. Always consult with your veterinarian before starting or changing any medication for your pet and be sure to ask any questions about the appropriate dosage and duration for your dog's specific needs.
