How does Simparica Trio Chewable Tablets for Dogs work?
Simparica Trio works by utilizing three active pharmaceutical ingredients: sarolaner, moxidectin, and pyrantel pamoate. Sarolaner, which is an insecticide and acaricide belonging to the isoxazoline group, inhibits the function of the gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate receptors in insects and acarines. This results in uncontrolled neuromuscular activity leading to death.
Moxidectin, on the other hand, is an endoectocide in the macrocyclic lactone class that interferes with the chloride channel-mediated neurotransmission in parasites. This leads to paralysis and death of the parasite.
Lastly, pyrantel pamoate is a nematocide that belongs to the tetrahydropyrimidine class. It acts as a neuromuscular-blocking agent in susceptible parasites by causing paralysis and death or expulsion of the organism.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: Use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures. Simparica Trio contains sarolaner, a member of the isoxazoline class, which has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions including tremors, ataxia, and seizures in dogs with or without a history of neurologic disorders. The safe use of Simparica Trio has not been evaluated in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. The most frequently reported adverse reactions in clinical trials were vomiting and diarrhea.
