How does it work?

Credelio for Dogs is composed of lotilaner as its active ingredient. It is an ectoparasiticide belonging to the isoxazoline group and inhibits insect and acarine gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channels. This inhibition blocks the transfer of chloride ions across cell membranes, causing uncontrolled neuromuscular activity, leading to the death of insects and acarines.
