Description

Transparent oily liquid with a specific smell of the constituent components.

Structure

1 ml of the drug contains the active ingredient:

fipronil – 80 mg;

excipients: propylene glycol, glycerin, isopropyl alcohol.

Pharmacological properties

ATCvet QP53, ectoparasiticites, insecticides and repellents (QP53AX15, fipronil).

The active substance of the drug fipronil is a phenylpyrazole derivative.

Fipronil affects the central nervous system of ectoparasites without affecting the central nervous system of animals. The mechanism of action of fipronil in invertebrates is to inhibit the passage of chlorine ions in GABA-dependent chloride channels, which disrupts the functioning of the nervous system. Through the systemic blocking of the nervous system by fipronil, nervous overexcitation and death of ectoparasites occurs.

Fipronil exhibits a contact effect and is practically not absorbed through the skin. After topical application, the drug is distributed over the body surface within 24 hours, accumulates in the epidermis, sebaceous glands, hair follicles and is gradually released over a period of time. A “reservoir” effect is created, which ensures long-term residual activity of fipronil.

Application

Prevention and treatment of dogs and cats in diseases caused by ectoparasites: fleas (Ctenocephalus spp.), Parasitiform ticks (Dermacentor spp., Rhipicephalus spp., Ixodes spp.), Lice (Trichodectes canis, Felicola subrostratus).

It is also effective for ear scabies (otodectosis).
