What This Medication Is Used For
Simparica 120 mg chewable tablets are a monthly, veterinarian-prescribed product that helps prevent flea and tick infestations in large dogs. This strength fits dogs weighing from 40.1 kg up to 60 kg. One chew helps protect against key external parasites when used as directed by your vet.

Multiple tick species
Common signs seen before treatment

How It Works
After your dog eats the Simparica chew, the active ingredient is absorbed into the bloodstream. It works from the inside to stop fleas and ticks after they bite.
It starts acting shortly after administration.
It interrupts the life cycle of fleas and ticks on your dog.
It does not clean the environment around your dog.
If parasites are active in your home, your vet may suggest environmental cleaning or control in addition to treatment.
Comparison with other options
Some products only focus on a single parasite type. Simparica 120 mg targets both fleas and ticks in one monthly chew when recommended by your veterinarian.
Use in ongoing parasite plans
Parasite pressure can shift with seasons, travel, and local conditions. Your vet can update prevention plans as needed to keep protection aligned with your dog’s risk.
Dosage and Strength Information
Your veterinarian will determine the proper dose and schedule based on your dog’s weight and health history. Do not change the dosage or timing without vet approval.
About this strength
The 120 mg tablet is sized for dogs weighing from 40.1 kg up to 60 kg. The amount of active ingredient in this tablet is calibrated for this weight range to ensure effective flea and tick prevention each month.
