Pharmacological properties:
АТС vet: QP52AX60, Endoparasitic veterinary preparations.
The endoparasitic effect of the suspension is due to the properties of the active substances – emodepside and toltrazuril.
Emodepside is an endoparasitocide that belongs to the group of depsipeptides. Emodepside excites presynaptic latrophilin nerve receptors of the nervous system of gastrointestinal nematodes, which leads to their paralysis and death.
Praziquantel – active against cestodes, increases the permeability of membranes for calcium ions, causes an increase in muscle activity, which is replaced by muscle contraction and spastic paralysis, causes the destruction of the outer coating of adult forms of cestodes. In some cases, helminths under the action of praziquantel are completely digested and are not found in feces.
Application:
Treatment and prevention of mixed invasions caused by gastrointestinal nematodes (mature and immature adults, L4 larvae of Toxocara canis, mature adults of Uncinaria stenocephala, mature adults of Ancylostoma caninum) and eimerias (Isospora ohioensis complex, Isospora canis):
