Fluralaner (INN), sold under the brand name Bravecto among others, is a systemic insecticide and acaricide that is administered orally or topically.

==Mode of action== Fluralaner inhibits γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channels (GABA receptors) and L-glutamate-gated chloride channels (GluCls). Potency of fluralaner is comparable to fipronil (a related GABA-antagonist insecticide and acaricide).
