Celandine for cats - instructions for using drops

Not only street animals, but also pets can pick up fleas. And this is fraught with troubles and discomfort for the pet itself and for its owners. One of the medications that can rid pets of fleas, lice, and ticks are Celandine drops for cats. This medicine can be used to prevent tick infestation and eliminate this scourge. If the recommended dosages are observed, the drug does not harm the animal’s body and is completely safe. Celandine is produced in a whole series separately for adult animals of different species, junior for kittens and puppies.

Drops are suitable for external use only. The liquid has a light yellow tint and a transparent consistency. For ease of use and to avoid getting Celandine inside, the drops are packaged in plastic pipettes. This will prevent you from overdoing the dose. In fact, the chemical composition of the drug is completely different from the set of components of the plant of the same name.

The finished substance contains the active components permethrin and fipronil, additional components that soften the aggressive effect of the drug on the cat’s skin. Celandine contains auxiliary ingredients that ensure the fixation of liquid on the body for up to 1.5-2 months, their absorption and uniform distribution throughout the epithelium. The active substances in the composition have acaricidal and insecticidal properties. Therefore, Celandine anti-flea drops can cleanse a cat’s body of adult parasites and their larvae.

• convenient packaging that simplifies processing;
• the ability to choose a dosage appropriate to the age and size of the animal;

Celandine drops have nothing in common with the plant of the same name. This product contains toxic substances that, after entering the body, cause dysfunction of internal organs.

Therefore, in order to avoid side effects, it is recommended to follow the rules for using the medicine and precautions

Treatment of pets for parasites is necessary. Fleas and ticks can make cats and dogs nervous. Constant itching disrupts the zones, weakens appetite, and scratches appear on the body due to insect bites. In advanced cases, the animal dies, which is explained by poisoning of the body or infection with pathogenic bacteria carried by blood-sucking insects. Therefore, it is recommended to treat cats and dogs with drops after the first fleas appear.

Reviews from veterinarians

Oleg, 27 years old, Kharkov

I often prescribe “Clandestine” flea drops to treat animals against parasites. The effect occurs both against adult insects and against newly hatched insect eggs. This product is a good domestic analogue of foreign drugs. Side effects are rare. Caution should be exercised, however, as cases of poisoning of cats have been reported.

Anastasia, 44 years old, Volgograd

When prescribing insecticides, I always remind them that if the dosage is chosen incorrectly, the drug can harm the animal because it is toxic. Excess celandine can cause liver pathologies. Tests should be taken before processing to reduce risks.

All information posted on the site is provided in accordance with the User Agreement and is not a direct instruction to action. We strongly recommend that before using any product, you must obtain a face-to-face consultation at an accredited veterinary clinic.

Rules for using drops against blood-sucking parasites

It is necessary to follow the rules of use scrupulously, namely:

observe the dose; apply correctly; protect yourself and those under your care from accidental exposure to insecticides for other purposes.

Dose of cat drops

The determining role here is played by the patient’s age, weight, and condition. The instructions allow you to use Celandine anti-flea drops for kittens, but there are restrictions. This medicine should not be used in kittens under two months old.

Celandine drops for cats are prescribed as follows:

Weight less than two kilograms - 1/2 dose. 3 – 5 kg – one serving (1 ml). Over 5 and up to 10 kg - the dose will be doubled (2 ml). The weight of the wards rarely exceeds the specified one, but the instructions provide for this too. If you weigh more than 10 kilograms - 3 ml.

Application method

When using Celandine drops for cats against fleas, you must follow the instructions. Gently push the fur apart until the space between the shoulder blades is exposed. Touch the plastic container with the cut off tip to the skin and squeeze out the required amount of contents. There are recommendations for application to the back of the head. The patient will also not be able to lick the medicine there, but she can get it with her paw (remember how our pets wash themselves), then lick it off her. Therefore, apply only between the shoulder blades. Properly used Celandine drops are a salvation from fleas for cats.

Contraindications for use

Before using celandine drops, be sure to re-read the instructions and read the contraindications. Celandine drops are not recommended for use:

• Puppies under 2 months old.
• Pregnant and lactating bitches.
• Animals suffering from atopic allergies.

• Animals that are sick or recovering from viral diseases.
• Animals undergoing rehabilitation after surgery.
• For dogs and puppies with signs of exhaustion, dehydration, loss of strength, and intoxication.
• In combination with other insecticides or acaricidal agents.

During treatment, despite obvious contraindications, the dog must be under the supervision of a veterinarian. If there is no urgent need for treatment with Celandine drops, skin parasites are eliminated with milder insecticides or folk methods.

Instructions for use of Celandine

It is recommended to use Celandine drops against fleas for cats in advance, without waiting for an attack by blood-sucking parasites. Typically, infection occurs taking into account seasonality; in winter, fleas generally do not attack, and are most active during the warm periods of the year. Drops for cats should be used according to the following rules:

• compliance with dosage;
• correct application;
• compliance with safety measures, protection against contact of the product with unprotected areas of the body that do not require treatment.

The drug Celandine is applied to those areas that are inaccessible to the animal for licking. They are the neck or back of the head. It is necessary to adhere to the following rules for choosing a dosage:

• adult cats weighing more than 2 kilograms require a full dropper of the product;
• For small cats or kittens weighing up to 2 kg, half the standard dose is enough.

The medicine comes with detailed instructions for use. Celandine for cats must be used according to the following algorithm:

First you need to calm the animal. Carefully release the medicine through the pipette. Part the hair on the withers between the shoulder blades or the back of the head to provide access to the epidermis

It is very important that the selected part of the cat's body is dry and undamaged. All that remains is to drip the product onto the desired area of ​​the cat’s skin.

To treat a pet for fleas, a one-time treatment is carried out. In more advanced cases, such as notoedrosis or sarcoptic mange, in accordance with the doctor’s prescription, 2 to 4 medication treatments are carried out with an interval of 7-10 days.

Treatment with drops

Drops are one of the most effective dosage forms of the drug for cats. In the process of getting rid of fleas and ticks, the active substance - fipronil - paralyzes insects, and the permethrin also contained in it has a killing effect on parasites. With the help of alkaloids, these components have a strong effect on annoying fleas and ticks.

The instructions for use state that drops should be applied between the shoulder blades of cats or kittens. To be more confident in the expected result, you can use the medicine by anointing your pet’s withers. The main thing is that the animal does not lick the product, which is best applied to the skin, gently parting the fur. The drug acts deeply, is absorbed into the skin, and then spreads throughout the body. Then, the excretory system of the cat's body, together with active sweat glands, helps the product to be distributed over the surface of the skin. The drops thus have a detrimental effect on insects long before they decide to bite the animal.

In order for the drug to have maximum effect, it is important to leave it on the cat’s skin for at least 2-3 days. While the drops are treating parasites, there is no need to wash them off the animal’s skin. This is confirmed by the instructions for use of “Clandestine”.

Indications and instructions for use

Designed to kill parasitic insects.

Divided by species and age limit. In addition, it has a universal remedy.

Drops are produced for cats, kittens and dogs

After absorption, it is excreted with sweat and sebum and spreads evenly throughout the body. Does not require rinsing. Harmful only if you are hypersensitive to the components. Eliminates the problem for a long time.

In 70% of cases, a single dose is enough. If fleas and ticks are not exterminated, reapply after a month. To completely eliminate pests, the home and sleeping area are treated.

Superior to other methods of killing bloodsuckers. For example, shampoo lasts 5-6 hours. Since some breeds do not wash their hair, the parasites move to untouched territory and continue to exist. Frequent bathing is unacceptable; it upsets the pH balance. The cubs experience severe fright when washing. Flea collars are uncomfortable to wear. 45% of fidgets take off their hated accessory in the first hours after getting dressed.

Advantages:

• immediateness and duration of the reaction (begins after application and lasts one and a half to two months);
• ease of operation;
• reasonable cost. Dosage and method of application

Packaged in polymer packages (pipettes) placed in blisters.

Precautionary measures

In the quantities recommended according to the instructions, “Clandestine” (drops) protects against fleas without having a noticeable negative effect on the body, the product is not dangerous for the cat. It is safe for humans when treating children under their care, but protective measures must still be observed.

• You should wear gloves and a mask.
• Be careful not to get the composition on the body, mucous membranes, or eyes.
• You must not eat, smoke, or even drink water until you finish work and dispose of objects that came into contact with the drug (pipettes in this case). So that particles of the contents of plastic bottles do not accidentally enter the owner’s body with food.
• If the cat is not alone, then prevent each other from licking.
• Keep cats separate from children for two days after treatment with Celandine flea drops for safety.
• If you are using it for the first time, then do a test. Perform a superficial test with a very small (micro) dose.

Monitor the reaction, as there are known cases of severe allergies, moreover, to any of the components. It's hard to predict, so be sure to check.

Celandine contains substances that, after penetration, cause intoxication of the body

Therefore, when using a flea remedy, you must take the following precautions:

1. Wear rubber gloves before handling. This will help prevent hand contact with medications and prevent an allergic reaction.
2. Do not touch animals for 24 hours after the procedure.
3. In the first 2-3 days, limit contact between pets and children.
4. Avoid eating, drinking and smoking immediately after treatment. This will reduce the risk of droplets entering the body.
5. After the procedure, disinfect hands and other parts of the body that came into contact with the drops.
6. The pipettes are thrown away after the procedure. If any container was used during processing, the latter cannot be further used for products.

Help with allergies to ingredients in cats

Find out in advance the algorithm of emergency measures from your veterinarian in case of an acute allergic reaction. With these drops against fleas, troubles are so rare, but it is still better to be on the safe side for peace of mind and safety. First aid will have to be provided by someone nearby. But we hope for the best, that is, the absence of unwanted effects.

If you notice a reaction to the drops (depression or aggression, drooling and other unusual signs):

• Rinse off the drug, dry and wrap the victim so that she warms up, calms down and cannot lick the wet fur. Suddenly there are remnants of the allergen on it.
• Give me the sorbent. Smecta - several times every half an hour to an hour (1 ml each) or activated carbon - three times a quarter of a tablet (for a large cat you can take half a tablet or a whole one, there will be no harm).
• It is advisable to have dexamethasone in ampoules at home. Although this medicine is not veterinary, but hormonal, it is used in veterinary practice for emergency shock allergic conditions and saves animals. If it is not possible to quickly call a doctor, but help is needed immediately, then calculate the amount as follows: 1 ml per kilogram of cat weight. 0.1 ml is enough for a kitten. Do not use on old cats, nor on pregnant ones.

How to Increase the Effectiveness of Pet Flea Control

As a rule, if pets are periodically infected with fleas, but do not leave the apartment, then most likely fleas constantly live indoors. Homeowners mistakenly assume that animals are the cause of fleas in the house, but this is not always the case. Insects enter homes from the street and attack animals and people.

If you want to rid your pets of fleas, then eliminate the root cause of their appearance.

It is important to treat not only the animal, but also the bedding and rugs on which it sleeps

Owner reviews

Anna, the British owner:

“Clander drops caused a severe allergy in our cat. It’s good that I thought of immediately washing off the drug and taking my pet to the hospital. They barely got out. We took tests to check the liver, it turned out that the indicators had deteriorated significantly.”

Anastasia, volunteer:

“When we received two kittens (2 and 8 months) from the street for foster care, the problem of flea control arose. There were a lot of parasites on animals. We bought Celandine, intended for kittens and puppies. After treatment, the dead fleas fell out on their own and did not appear again. And although the cost of the medicine is low, it does the job perfectly.”

Ksenia, owner of a Siamese cat:

“Our indoor cat manages to find fleas somewhere. First time using shampoo. He helped, but the cat really didn’t like the bathing procedure. As a result, all my hands were scratched. The second time we used drops. There is no resistance, but there are no fleas either. I recommend to everyone".

How to properly use Celandine drops for dogs

All drugs based on medicinal plants have a short period of action in relation to ectoparasites. This is 30 days.

Drops are produced in polymer pipettes based on the weight of the dog. They must be applied to the animal’s withers, spreading the fur and pouring the contents of the bottle into several points in a straight line. are calculated based on the weight of the animal. This is necessary to prevent the dog from licking the drops. Their manufacturer produces them for fleas and ticks for adult dogs and separately for puppies. There are also universal drops. Puppies older than two months are allowed to use the product. If a young pet weighs up to two kilograms, you need to use half of a “baby” pipette once, from two to ten - a whole one. If the dog is an adult and its weight is from ten to twenty kilograms, use 2 standard pipettes for one treatment; from twenty to thirty kilograms - 3, more than thirty kilograms - 4.

The advantages of the drops include their effectiveness, prolonged action, convenient release form, and affordable price. As for the disadvantages, the main one is allergenicity. It is necessary to monitor the reaction of the dog's skin.

After treating animals with Celandine drops, they cannot be bathed for three days.

It is also important to treat all dogs or other animals living in the house with the drug.

The instructions recommend that owners immediately after the manipulation wash their hands with soap and discard the pipette that contained the medicine.

By the way, in addition to drops, there is also Celandine spray. It is less effective, because the concentration of active ingredients in the drug is lower. The spray is recommended to be applied to dogs before walks. It is not dangerous in terms of licking.

The insecticidal shampoo Celandine is also available in veterinary pharmacies. All these are domestically produced veterinary products.

Precautions when using insectoacaricide

In the quantities recommended according to the instructions, “Clandestine” (drops) protects against fleas without having a noticeable negative effect on the body, the product is not dangerous for the cat. It is safe for humans when treating children under their care, but protective measures must still be observed.

• Keep cats separate from children for two days after treatment with Celandine flea drops for safety.
• If you are using it for the first time, then do a test. Perform a superficial test with a very small (micro) dose.

Monitor the reaction, as there are known cases of severe allergies, moreover, to any of the components. It's hard to predict, so be sure to check.

Precautions during the procedure

Although Celandine drops are not overly toxic, the following safety precautions must be observed when using the drug:

• The person performing the procedure on the cat must use gloves to protect the skin of their hands.
• Avoid contact of the product with the eyes or any other mucous membranes. This applies to both pet owners and the pets themselves.
• To protect a person from getting Celandine inside the body, you should not eat, smoke or drink during the procedure.
• If the medication is ingested, gastric lavage should be performed.
• After completing the procedure, it is enough to wash your hands with soap or disinfect them. Empty containers from Celandine should be disposed of.

Instructions and dose

Celandine drops should be applied to places that are inaccessible to cats and dogs for licking. As a rule, this is the back of the head or neck under the collar

During treatment it is extremely important to maintain the correct dose

Celandine for cats

• for kittens and pets whose weight is less than 2 kg, it is necessary to use no more than half of one pipette;
• for adult cats and cats whose weight exceeds 2 kg, use a whole pipette for one treatment.

Treatment against parasites is carried out according to the following algorithm:

Carefully cut or break off the top part of the polymer pipette. In the area of ​​the withers or the back of the head, we spread the fur. Apply oily drops to the epidermis.

If the drug is used for preventive purposes, the principle and dose of use does not change. To achieve high performance, you should adhere to the following recommendations:

1. If the product is used for therapeutic purposes, the treatment should be carried out once. When treating notoedrosis, it is permissible to use the medication 2-4 times at intervals of 7 to 10 days, but under the close supervision of a veterinarian.
2. To prevent fleas and prevent infection by ticks, it is advisable to carry out treatment regularly - once every two months throughout the entire activity of the parasites, which we discussed above.
3. After applying the drug to the epidermis, the pet should not be bathed on the first day. You should also exclude the possibility of accidental contact with water, for example, walking in the rain or through morning dew. Water has a very detrimental effect on the effectiveness of the drug.
4. It is strongly not recommended to skip scheduled treatments, since violation of the application regimen may cause a decrease in the therapeutic effect.

If the drug is used to control fleas in cats, it is additionally recommended to treat household items and bedding. Such manipulations will prevent re-infection.

If the medication is prescribed for the treatment of otodectosis, then 1-3 drops are instilled into each ear canal. The ears should first be cleaned of dirt and scabs. If necessary, the manipulation is repeated after 3-5 days, until the symptoms completely disappear.

Medicine for dogs

Before using the drug Celandine for dogs, you should carefully read the rules for its use.
It is necessary that the place where the drug is applied to the dog is not only intact and dry, but also inaccessible for licking. As we said earlier, for cats the drops are applied to the area of ​​the shoulder blades, neck and back of the head, but for dogs it should be applied along the spine. The dosage should be selected taking into account the age and weight of the pet. Due to the fact that the medication has a residual effect, in the vast majority of cases one treatment is enough to rid your pet of parasites. If your pet is overly infested with parasites, the procedure should be repeated at intervals of a month.

You should pay attention to the fact that fleas are excellent jumpers and do not live permanently on their “hosts”; you can only get rid of them using an integrated approach. To achieve high results, you should treat not only the dog, but the entire room

1. Oily drops of Celandine should be applied to the withers or between the shoulder blades of the animal.
2. The product should be dripped directly onto the skin, carefully parting the dog's hair.

The active and auxiliary components of the drug are quickly absorbed into the animal’s skin, after which they are distributed throughout the body. As we said earlier, to achieve high results, your pet should not be bathed for the next few days.

Analogues of celandine for fleas and ticks
Taking care of the health of furry family members, owners overpay by purchasing imported goods. Spending is not always justified. It is unwise to chase fashion brands and spend hours scrolling through websites in search of a way out of the situation. With timely detection of trouble and prompt treatment, cheap “Clandestine” will help Murks and Bobiks. It will quickly cure annoying insects and save the family budget.

Characteristics of the drug

The main medicinal properties are found in celandine milk, which looks like a yellowish liquid contained in the stems. It is this that serves as the raw material for medicines and has the following qualities:

1. Antiseptic. This is the elimination of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and other pathogenic microorganisms.
2. Antitumor. It consists of relieving swelling and accelerating the resorption of hematomas.
3. Analgesic and antispasmodic. In case of external injuries, it relieves pain and spasms.
4. Wound healing. Accelerates the regeneration process in damaged skin and mucous membranes.

Extract from celandine has a positive effect on the respiratory system, kidneys, liver and even slows down the growth of tumors. All the beneficial medicinal properties of the herb are achieved thanks to its rich composition. Celandine contains vitamins A and C; succinic, malic, citric acids; phytoncides; essential oils. The plant also contains chelidonine, a plant analogue of morphine. This substance is the most dangerous component of the plant, making it poisonous. In certain concentrations it causes paralysis, convulsions and other damage to the central nervous system.

In veterinary medicine, celandine is used as a remedy for blood-sucking parasites, since it contains 20 alkaloids. It is prohibited to use flea and tick herb in its pure form. Preparations based on celandine are considered conditionally safe in veterinary medicine. They are effective because they reliably protect dogs from lice, fleas, ticks, and lice eaters. The conditional safety of Celandine drops lies in the correspondence of the doses to the weight of the animal, that is, the exact observance of the dosage.

Absorbed through the skin, the components of the drops do not harm the dog. However, they cause swelling when they come into contact with the mucous membranes. This is why you need to be vigilant if birds, fish and other animals live in the house. Alkaloids are toxic to them.

Advantages and disadvantages of the drug

To combat parasitic insects in pets, various means are used, including shampoos, collars, and sprays.

Most cat owners choose drops to eliminate an unpleasant scourge, as they are endowed with certain advantages:

• long-lasting effect of the drug Celandine;
• the ability to choose the optimal type of product corresponding to the type and age of the cat;
• the convenient release form allows you to quickly and easily apply the drug without irritating or injuring the cat;
• reliable protection of pets from various types of ectoparasites;
• the ability to bathe the cat after applying the product;
• can be purchased at a reasonable price.

But the use of drops against fleas and other parasites also has a negative side. Among the disadvantages are:

provoking allergies on the skin of the cat, as well as in the owner; It is forbidden to give the cat drops to take orally

Therefore, it is important to ensure that your pet does not lick the medicine from the fur; there are age restrictions - it is not recommended to use Celandine on the smallest puppies and kittens under the age of 2 months, as well as on sick, weak cats and pregnant cats; You should not give preference to using different types of Celandine at the same time. An excess of toxins will negatively affect the cat and be harmful to the health of the pet.

In general, Celandine drops, when used correctly, are completely harmless, but at the same time effective. Ticks, fleas, and lice leave their host in one treatment session. At the same time, the drug provides a long-term preventive effect and reliable protection against relapse.

Preventive shampoo

Among the products from this medicinal series for animals, it is worth noting shampoo. In comparison with drops or a collar, it should be considered more of a preventative measure. In case of large-scale skin lesions in a cat, it is used as an emergency remedy with an immediate effect. Owners of long-haired pets should thank the manufacturers in advance: a shampoo has been created for their pets that has a beneficial effect on the appearance of their furry friend and makes combing easier after bathing. An additional version of the detergent was also developed for children; it contains a lower dosage of fipronil, which can sometimes cause an allergic reaction.

To wash your cat with this medicated shampoo, you need to follow the recommendations step by step:

1. Wet your pet's fur.
2. Apply a sufficient amount of shampoo to the coat and lightly lather with massaging movements.
3. Leave to act for at least a couple of minutes. Ideally – 5-10 minutes.
4. Rinse with warm water, rinse several times until the coat is completely clean.

It is important to note that the shampoo works immediately. Only bite marks from fleas and ticks will remain on the animal's body. But protection will not be enough for a long time, since Celandine shampoo can only destroy parasites, but not protect the animal from being attacked by new insects.

If the drugs are used in combination, then simultaneous use will definitely have a better and faster effect. Moreover, there are few contraindications to the use of the drug: it is necessary to apply Celandine to the fur of a pregnant cat with caution and do not use it on the skin of a kitten under the age of 8 weeks. If signs of an allergy appear, you must stop using the product for cats and take your pet to the veterinarian. The specialist will adjust the pet’s further treatment for fleas and other blood suckers.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of the product is the large number of different forms. Can be used for kittens from 2 months. The release form makes it easy to apply the drug. Use does not cause pain or discomfort to the pet, and is convenient for the owner. The cost of the medicine is low, it can be purchased in most veterinary stores. The drug works well to protect and treat pets from fleas. After use, the cat may be bathed.

This medicine also has disadvantages. An allergic reaction often occurs due to its use. Allergies can occur in both humans and pets.

The medication should not be ingested, so it is important to apply it correctly so that the cat cannot lick the medication from the fur. Not suitable for sick or weakened animals

They move to other surfaces and can live in cracks in floors, rugs and other places. Therefore, only an integrated approach will help rid your pet’s life of these parasites forever. The treatment must be carried out on the animal’s body, the room where it lives, especially the place where it sleeps. You should also follow these rules when using Celandine:

Celandine drops are applied exclusively to the withers or between the shoulder blades - in other places the cat will be able to lick off the medicine, which should not get inside its body; the drug should be applied directly to the skin, and not to the fur of the cat or dog; immediately after applying the drops, you should not bathe your pet, although after 24 hours, treatment with detergents is not prohibited; It is very important not to combine a collar and Celandine drops in a comprehensive fight against parasites due to possible intoxication of the animal; During treatment, it is necessary to limit the contact of an animal infected with parasites with other pets, and do not allow cats to lick each other; It is necessary to exclude contacts of small children with animals after applying the drug; adults picking up cats or stroking them for 1-2 days is also not recommended.

Advantages

Many owners of four-legged friends, when choosing a means of fighting fleas, prefer drops. For example, the most popular anti-flea shampoos for dogs that destroy bloodsuckers are effective only immediately during use. It is possible that the animal he bathed may become infected again almost immediately. After all, when washing, in order to avoid water getting into the eyes and ears, the product is not applied to the head, as a result of which some of the bloodsuckers can escape there. Frequent procedures using shampoo can destroy the protective layer of the skin.

There are also pets for whom bathing is completely contraindicated. These include pregnant, sick, very old or weakened animals. For small kittens, the process of bathing can be very frightening. The best option in such situations is Celandine flea drops for kittens.

A collar for dogs or cats has a good effect in the fight against parasites. However, not all animals like to wear it. Many dogs and cats prefer to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Anti-flea drops do not have such disadvantages. The pet will not become infected again while interacting with other animals while walking outside. In addition, there is no need to rinse off the product.

Celandine Maximum drops for cats 3 tubes, 1 ml pipettes

DESCRIPTION

Celandine Maximum drops (Chistotel Maximum drops) is a solution for external use to combat ectoparasites of cats and kittens. The drug is a transparent oily liquid of light yellow color.

The mechanism of action of fipronil is to disrupt the passage of chloride ions in the GABA-dependent receptors of the ectoparasite, disrupt the transmission of nerve impulses and the activity of the nervous system, which leads to paralysis and death of arthropods.

The mechanism of action of permethrin is to block the transmission of nerve impulses, which causes impaired coordination of movements, paralysis and death of ectoparasites.

Celandine Maximum drops, in terms of the degree of impact on the body, belong to moderately hazardous substances (hazard class 3 according to GOST 12.1.007-76), do not have a local irritant or skin-resorptive effect.

The drug is used by animals by drip application to dry, intact skin (16 drops corresponds to a volume of 0.5 ml). Having parted the fur, the drug is applied to the animal’s skin in places that are inaccessible for licking - in the neck area at the base of the skull or between the shoulder blades in the doses indicated in the table.

The duration of the protective effect against ixodid ticks after a single treatment lasts for 30 days, against insects - up to 2 months.

Repeated treatments of animals are carried out according to indications, but not more than once a month.

For otodectosis (ear scabies), 1-3 drops of the drug are instilled into previously cleaned ears. Every 3 - 5 days the procedure is repeated until recovery.

For therapeutic purposes in cases of sarcoptic mange in dogs and notoedrosis in cats, the drug is used 2-4 times, with an interval of 7-10 days until the clinical recovery of the animal, which is confirmed by two negative results of acarological studies; in order to prevent possible invasion - once a month. Treatment is recommended to be carried out comprehensively, using etiotropic, pathogenetic and symptomatic drugs.

When attacked by ixodid ticks, apply the drug in the amount of 1 drop directly to the tick. If the tick does not fall off spontaneously within 20 minutes, it is carefully pulled out of the skin with tweezers and destroyed.

Operating principle

A special feature of the drug is its effectiveness against parasites at all stages of development - from eggs to mature individuals.

The principle of action is to disrupt the transmission of nerve impulses. Afterwards paralysis sets in, from which the insects die. This happens within a couple of days, but the effect lasts for 1-2 months.

The active components practically do not penetrate into the bloodstream. The effectiveness of the product is achieved due to the fact that the active substances accumulate in the epidermis, sebaceous glands and wool. The parasites die immediately after the slightest contact, without harming the animal.
