Essential insights

• Inhibition of GABA receptors: Sarolaner works by blocking gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the nervous system of parasites, leading to overstimulation of their nerve cells.
• Paralysis and death: This overstimulation results in paralysis and death of the parasite, making it highly effective.
• Selective toxicity: Sarolaner is selectively toxic to parasites, as the GABA receptors in the host animal are not significantly affected, ensuring safety when used appropriately.
