Prac-tic Drops against Fleas and Ticks for Dogs

Description

Praktik anti-flea and tick drops are produced in the form of a solution with an oily consistency. Packaged in convenient polymer pipettes. Before use, carefully cut off the tip.

On a note!

To fully treat a dog for fleas, only one pipette is required, but the dosage of the active component is different. Depending on body weight, 4 types of Praktik drops are produced. The cardboard package contains 3 dropper pipettes.

Compound

The active component of Praktik drops is a new generation insecticide designed specifically to protect dogs from parasites. The substance is called pyriprole. It has a wide spectrum of action, low toxicity, and helps prevent helminthic infestation.

Piriprol disrupts the functioning of the nervous system. Upon contact with treated fur, the flea is paralyzed within a few seconds, even before it can deliver a bite. The next 2 minutes will be fatal for the parasite.

Instructions for use of Prak-tik drops

Drops should be used externally, applied to a dry and intact area of ​​skin. To prevent the dog from licking the medicine, it should be applied to the withers or closer to the base of the skull, first spreading the fur.

In the following dosages:

• The dosage of the drug is 0.1 ml per 1 kg of dog weight. After application, the drug acts as protection against insects for the dog for four weeks.
• To treat large breeds, the contents of the dropper should be dropped into three different places along the dog's spine.

If necessary, re-treatment is carried out no earlier than a month later.

Contraindications and side effects

If you follow the instructions, there are no side effects. An allergic reaction may occur in sensitive dogs. In exceptional cases, minor side effects such as itching and redness may occur.

Contraindicated in dogs with infectious diseases. It is not recommended to use in the treatment of puppies under 8 weeks of age, as well as dogs that weigh less than 2 kg.

In case of an overdose, symptoms such as loss of coordination, body tremors, increased salivation, and rapid breathing appear.

Action

Praktik drops for dogs against fleas and ticks
The active components of Praktik drops for dogs act locally and do not enter the general bloodstream. After targeted application, piriprol is localized in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Over the course of 24 hours, it evenly covers the skin and hair of the dog. The flea enters the body by contact through the chitinous cover, partly through food.

Pharmacological properties

Praktik is a colorless, slightly oily liquid that does not have a pronounced odor. The medicine is packaged in conveniently shaped pipettes with a tear-off cap, 3 pieces per pack. Each box must include instructions for use with a list of contraindications.

Prac-tic can be used against ixodid ticks, fleas, lice, lice, and scabies mites.

The main active ingredient used in the drug is pyriprole . This compound has recently been specifically bred to combat parasites. It copes well with almost all skin parasites that terrorize dogs, without causing any harm to the animal being treated. Piriprol is effective not only against adult eggs, but also against eggs and larvae.

Once in the parasite's body, the substance disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses between cells, destroying arthropods.

Piriprol belongs to hazard class 3, which means it is completely harmless to warm-blooded animals, but serves as a strong poison for bees and fish. If you are treating your dog with Prak-tik, do not go near apiaries and do not let it swim in open bodies of water, so as not to harm their inhabitants.

INSTRUCTIONS for the use of the insecto-acaricidal drug Prac-tic (Prac-tic)

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES Piriprol, which is part of the drug, has a pronounced contact insecto-acaricidal effect against the preimaginal and imaginal phases of development of insects parasitizing on dogs.

The mechanism of action of piriprole is to block GABA-dependent (GABA - gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors of parasites, disrupting the transmission of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and death of ectoparasites. When applied to the skin, the drug is not absorbed, but gradually, over 24 hours, is distributed over the surface of the body and, reserved in the sebaceous glands, has a long-term insecticidal and acaricidal effect in places where ectoparasites are localized. In terms of the degree of impact on the body of warm-blooded animals, the drug is classified as a moderately dangerous substance; in recommended doses it does not have skin irritation, resorptive toxic, embryotoxic or teratogenic effects. The drug is toxic to bees, as well as fish and other aquatic organisms.
