Afoxolaner Tablets

(1) Common flea species
Afurana is mainly used to treat flea infections in dogs. Common flea species include cat flea and dog flea. These two types of fleas are more common in the living environment of dogs. They parasitize on the surface of dogs and feed on their blood.

(2) The hazards of flea infection
Flea infection can bring many hazards to dogs. Firstly, flea bites on a dog's skin can cause itching, causing the dog to constantly scratch and resulting in skin damage, which can easily lead to bacterial infections. Secondly, some dogs are allergic to flea saliva and may experience allergic reactions such as skin redness, swelling, and hair loss.

In addition, fleas are also a vector of tapeworm disease. When dogs lick flea contaminated hair, they may ingest fleas containing tapeworm larvae, thereby infecting tapeworms.
(3) The therapeutic effect of Afurana
Afurana has a rapid killing effect on fleas. After dogs take Afurana orally, the drug can kill fleas within 8 hours. Its mechanism of action is by binding to the neurotransmitter gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in fleas, blocking chloride ion channels, causing excessive neuronal excitation, and ultimately leading to flea paralysis and death. Regular use of Afurana can effectively control flea infections in dogs and reduce the harm of fleas to dogs.

(1) Common tick species
Afurana can treat various tick infections in dogs. Common tick species include reticulated tick, castor tick, hexagonal tick, and hemochromatid tick. These ticks usually live in environments such as grass and forests, and dogs are prone to infection during outdoor activities.

(2) The therapeutic effect of Afurana
Afurana has a good killing effect on ticks. After oral administration of Afurana to dogs, the drug can kill ticks within 48 hours. Its mechanism of action is similar to its effect on fleas, by interfering with the tick's nervous system, leading to paralysis and death of the tick. Administering Aflana once a month can effectively prevent and treat tick infections in dogs, reducing the risk of dog infection with related diseases.

(3) The hazards of tick infection
Tick infection poses a great threat to the health of dogs. After ticks bite the skin of dogs, they will insert their mouthparts into the skin and feed on the dog's blood, causing symptoms such as anemia and malnutrition. At the same time, ticks are also vectors of various diseases, such as Lyme disease, Babesiosis, and so on. Lyme disease can cause symptoms such as fever, joint pain, and claudication in dogs, and in severe cases, it can affect the dog's nervous system and heart function; Babesiosis can cause hemolytic anemia in dogs, leading to symptoms such as jaundice and weakness, and even endangering their lives.

(1) Common types of mites
Some formulations containing Afranana (such as Super Trust) can also be used to treat mite infections in dogs. Common types of mites include canine scabies mites and canine demodex mites. The canine scabies mite mainly parasitizes the epidermal layer of dogs' skin, causing scabies mite disease in dogs; Demodex mainly parasitizes in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands of dogs, causing demodex disease in dogs.

(2) The hazards of mite infection
Canine scabies mite infection can cause severe itching in dogs, with symptoms such as redness, papules, and blisters on the skin. Dogs will constantly scratch due to itching, resulting in skin damage, scabbing, and in severe cases, skin infection and hair loss.

Canine demodex infection may not have obvious symptoms in the early stages, but as the condition progresses, the dog's skin may show symptoms such as redness, depilation, increased dandruff, and may also develop secondary bacterial infections, causing pyoderma.

(3) The therapeutic effect of Afurana
Afurana has a certain therapeutic effect on canine scabies mite and canine demodex mite infections. For scabies mite infection, the medication should be administered once a month, twice in a row. Based on clinical evaluation and skin scraping, the administration time can be extended; For demodex infection, medication should be given once a month until two negative skin smears are obtained every other month. In severe cases, the medication time can be extended. Afurana can treat mite infections by interfering with the nervous system of mites, inhibiting their growth and reproduction.

1. Heartworm infection
(1) The harm of heartworms
Heartworm is a nematode that parasitizes the heart and pulmonary arteries of dogs. Dogs infected with Heartworm may experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, coughing, heart failure, and in severe cases, can be life-threatening. Heartworm infection is more common during the season when mosquitoes are active. After mosquitoes bite dogs infected with Heartworm, they will carry Heartworm larvae, which will be transmitted to other dogs when they bite them again.

(2) The preventive effect of Afurana
Products containing Aflana such as Super Reliable (Aflana Milbeixime Chewable Tablets) can be used to prevent canine heartworm infection. Its mechanism of action may be by interfering with the nervous system of heartworm larvae, preventing their development and reproduction in dogs. Regular use of this product can effectively reduce the risk of canine heartworm infection.

2. Gastrointestinal nematode infection
(1) Types and hazards of gastrointestinal nematodes
Gastrointestinal nematodes are a type of nematode that parasitizes the gastrointestinal tract of dogs, including common species such as roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. These nematodes can take away nutrients from dogs, causing symptoms such as malnutrition, emaciation, and anemia. At the same time, some gastrointestinal nematodes also secrete toxins that affect the digestive function and immune system of dogs.

(2) The therapeutic effect of Afurana
Highly reliable products containing afoxolaner tablets can also be used to treat gastrointestinal nematode infections in dogs. Afurana can act on the nervous system of gastrointestinal nematodes, causing them to paralyze and die, and then be excreted with feces. The use of this product can effectively eliminate gastrointestinal nematodes in dogs and improve their health condition.
