What This Medication Is Used For
Simparica 10 mg tablets are a monthly, veterinarian-prescribed chewable to help prevent flea and tick infestations in medium-large dogs. This dose is for dogs weighing 2.6 kg to 5.0 kg. It helps with common external parasites through a single monthly chew.
Parasites it helps prevent
Flea infestations
Several tick species
Typical situations before treatment
Frequent scratching or biting linked to fleas
Ticks found after time outdoors
Higher parasite exposure due to lifestyle, travel, or region
Why a veterinarian may recommend it
To simplify flea and tick prevention with one product

How It Works
Once your dog eats the Simparica chewable, its active ingredient spreads through the bloodstream. It targets fleas and ticks after they bite your dog.
The tablet begins to act soon after ingestion.
It stops fleas and ticks from surviving long on your dog.
It does not remove parasites from your dog’s environment.
If there is an active flea issue inside your home, your vet may recommend cleaning and treatment of the environment as well.
How it differs from other products
Some preventatives only cover fleas or only cover ticks. Simparica 10 mg targets both with one monthly chew when your vet deems it appropriate.
Use in regular parasite plans
Parasite risk can change with season, climate, travel, and region. Your vet can reassess prevention steps over time to keep protection suited to your dog.
Dosage and Strength Information
Your veterinarian prescribes the correct dosage and schedule based on weight, health, and risk. Do not alter dosage or frequency without vet approval.
About this strength
The 10 mg chewable is sized for dogs weighing from 26 kg up to 50 kg. The amount of active ingredient in each chew is tailored for effective flea and tick control at this weight range.
