selamectin -120 mg.

Pharmacological properties

The active substance of the drug selamectin – semi-synthetic ivermectin. The mechanism of action is associated with changes in the activity of chlorine channels of synaptic membranes in the nervous and muscular systems of many ectoparasites. By binding to specific receptors, it increases the permeability of synaptic membranes to chlorine ions, leading to blockade of the electrical activity of parasite nerve and muscle cells and, as a result, their paralysis and death. In mammals, such receptors are located only in the central nervous system. Because selamectin does not have the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, it has a high level of safety and is safe for dogs and cats at recommended doses.

Selamectin has a wide range of systemic nematode, insecticidal and acaricidal action, has larvocidal and ovocidal properties.

The drug is rapidly and completely absorbed from the site of application into the blood. Therapeutic concentrations of selamexin in the blood are maintained for a long time, providing the destruction of parasites and protection against reinvasion for a month.

Application

Prevention and treatment of otodectosis (Otodectes Cynotis), sarcoptosis (Sarcoptes scabies), toxocariasis (Toxocara canis), infestation of bloodsucking lice (Trichodectes canis) and fleas (Çtenocephalides spp,), as well as for the prevention of heartworm disease .

Dosage

Extermination of fleas

After applying the drug, adult fleas die. To prevent invasion, the drug should be used once a month during the flea season. Treatment of pregnant and lactating animals prevents flea infestation in kittens and puppies up to 7 weeks of age.

For use as a component of therapy for flea allergic dermatitis, the drug is used at monthly intervals.

Prevention of heartworm disease

To prevent heartworm disease, Stronghold is administered to 12% of animals every month, starting one month before the flight of mosquito / mosquito vectors and ending no earlier than one month after the end of the flight of insects. In the event that the monthly interval between two uses of Stronghold 12% was violated, the drug is applied as soon as possible, which minimizes the possibility of developing adult heartworms. In case of using another drug for the prevention of heartworm disease, the next use of the drug Stronghold 12% is carried out one month after the last dose of the previous drug.
