    You just don’t stop. No one ever said every report is a direct result of Bravecto. But you have not written to the ema and read the reports. Lots of details and many and reactions that appear possibly and probably biased by Bravecfo per the NCA. By the exerts that evaluate them. Who then required a targeted safety study be conducted on Bravecto. No other flea and tick medicine.

    No conspiracy theory here. Just providing facts on side effects reported, safety reviews require by the EMA. Information on seizure warnings on the topical not oral, news reports, settlement offers. Etc. all facts. Bye. Are you done or do you need to make another statement?

    Way to go Cameron! I don’t use what you call with roach spray! Wrong person dear Cameron. But you continue to ignore facts due to the science of the studies put out by the manufacturer. Again, I am done? Are you, or do you need to come back with another incorrect statement?

    I am done? Are you Cameron? You said you were what 10 posts ago?

    OMG Cameron will you stop with your sales tactics? You state you are educated, yet you call people 300 pound teenagers. You don’t know what the EMA reports are since you call them EMA studies. You quote 44,000 with no proof. You are comparing apples and oranges. 600 in one year from ALL spot ons. But almost 1,000 reported deaths from BRAVECTO alone since it came out just a few years ago. Can you just stop? How long is this going to go on? But the great thing is the more you keep this conversation going, the more people will be driven to the search and will see the numbers and the truth. The EMA has required a targeted safety review due to concerns over the seriousness of adverse events reported for Bravecto – not the topical. Sadly there is no independence in the targeted safety review. It is done by Merck who did the study for approval and has a great history with the truth with some human drugs. Over 36,000 members on the Facebook group called Does Bravecto Kill Dogs. Close to 10,000 members in the Netherlands. Oh, and did you see the news report done by Jim Strickland n in Atlanta? Merck issued a letter to the vets stating that none of the dogs in the report had necropsies – they declined them! Then Jim did a follow up report showing that Merck said this was not correct. Oh, something not true by Merck? They certainly did not disclose to the vets all the necropsies that have been done and how there is no one test that can prove causation. They also did not disclose all the settlement payments that have made with letters requiring non disclosure by the dog owners or that they were not responsible even though they paid. So keep rambling Cameron, you just help bring attention to the issue.

    Once again, they are not EMA studies, they are side effects reported to the EMA and the FDA. And it is the EMA requiring a targeted safety review. Goodbye dear Cameron goodbye

    Cameron you sound more and more like a Merck pharmaceutical employee with every post. You use words like hype, Junk, and handful of people. You totally ignore the 4,000 serious side effects reported and the fact that the EMA has only required a target safety review on this drug this year. No other drug had this requirement. You blindly trust big Pharma’s study conducted without independence. Again. Good luck. Goodbye. Or do you need the final word?

    I’m not here to give you a proven alternative. I’m here to correct your statements. It’s not a handful of people. Look at the EMA reports and the FDA reports. And just stop already. You love it. Use it. Good luck to your dog.

    Seriously Cameron, when do you stop? You said you were three posts ago. You act more like my teenager then a person with a doctorate. Just seems like you just have to have the last word. For someone with a doctorate, how can you say a handful of people when there are close to 4000 adverse events reported to the EMA. And those are only the serious ones? And almost 1000 deaths. And that’s based on under reported numbers. So no, not handful. Are you done?

    Great suggestion! And if he begins to have seizures after taking it, I am sure it is just a coincidence since MSD has not issued seizure warnings for the oral even though MSD stated it can cause seizures in dogs that never had them when they did the study for the topical. It must be irrelevant that seizures are in the top 10 side effects reported to the FDA after Bravecto. And it must not matter because the overall incidence of side effects reported is so low. And I am sure that has nothing to do with the fact that the FDA estimates that only 1% of people report adverse side effects. Good luck everyone. We have all made our points. The dogs are the important thing here. Do what you feel is best and at least you know the potential risks when you play russian roulette.

    Using Cameron’s words we have ā€œtaken enough space up in this blog…lets stop. I amā€. Good luck all.

    Cameron, you have made your point and have been a bit rude. I think you already said enough to Jane, so isn’t it time to end it like you said previously? Or do you just feel you have to have the last word? You sound like you are a Merck employee more than anything. Clearly there are enough concerns over this drug or the EMA would not have ordered a targeted safety review. Glad you like it for now. Hope you continue to be happy with it, but enough already!

    Hi Melissa, I am sorry about your dog. Please come to the Facebook group called Does Bravecto Dogs? You’re not the first to report aggression and a dog after this medication. It was actually an article about the potential risks from this in the WashingTon Post. There are numerous members reporting bad side effects including prolonged G.I. problems including diarrhea. Please come to the group. We are trying to make sure that all side effects get reported to the manufacturer Merck and the FDA

    I am very concerned about this medication. I am hearing more and more stories about bad side effects but nothing is being done. Above, Colleen H comments that her dog died because of it. I am concerned mine may have to. I urge anyone with negative side effects to please go to the Facebook group called Does Bravecto Kill Dogs and explain your dogs symptoms. And make sure you report it to the FDA and the ASPCA poison control.
