Fluralaner is an active ingredient designed to prevent flea and tick infestations in dogs and cats. This ingredient belongs to a group of chemicals called isoxazolines, which are effective at killing fleas and ticks by disrupting their nervous systems. Fluralaner is frequently used in oral chewable tablets or topical solutions that provide long‑lasting protection against these parasites.
Fluralaner is a broad‑spectrum insecticide with good insecticidal activity against ticks, fleas, lice, Hemiptera, and Diptera, exhibiting insecticidal potency higher than or comparable to commonly used insecticides. Fluralaner shows no significant target‑site cross‑resistance against cyclopentadiene‑ and phenylpyrazole‑resistant pests, and demonstrates good insecticidal activity against some resistant pest strains.
