Pharmacological properties
ATC-vet classification code: QP52, veterinary anthelmintic drugs (QP52AA01, praziquantel) QP54, endectocides (QP54AA01, ivermectin)
The action of the drug is determined by the active ingredients – ivermectin and praziquantel.
Ivermectin, which belongs to the group of macrocyclic lactones, enhances the connection of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) with special receptors on the nerve endings of the parasite, blocking nerve impulses, which in turn leads to paralysis and death.
Praziquantel is active against cestodes (tapeworms) and some types of trematodes, increases the permeability of membranes for calcium ions, causes an increase in muscle activity, which is changed by muscle contraction and spastic paralysis, and causes destruction of the outer cover of adult cestodes.
In recommended doses, it has no teratogenic and embryotoxic effects.
