How does Credelio work?

Credelio contains the ingredient, lotilaner, which is an antiparasitic drug that kills the fleas and ticks that live on your pet's body surface. Lotilaner blocks the transfer of chloride ions from passing through cell membranes, which causes uncontrolled neuromuscular activity and results in the death of fleas and ticks. Credelio starts killing fleas within 4 hours of administration and kills over 99% of fleas within 8 hours of administration.
