Security measures:

Despite the fact that Fiprist is not very dangerous for humans and other animals (except for some insects and fish, rabbits), it is still worth observing the conditions for safe use on a dog. The instructions and experience of users who have a dog describe them as follows:

• Do not pet the treated dog for 24 hours;
• during the same period, keep away from small children;
• ensure that the drug does not get into drinking water;
• Do not use the product for people with allergies and/or hypersensitivity;
• after use, be sure to wash your hands;

• weak;

• weighing less than 2 kg;

Side effects:

If you follow the instructions and take into account contraindications, then Fiprist should not have a negative effect on the dog’s health. However, the manufacturer notes that overdosing in large quantities leads to problems. This is often determined in a dog by its condition: trembling, excessive saliva, and possible vomiting. Then it is necessary to take measures to eliminate the symptoms and immediately remove the drug from the animal’s body. It is important to show your pet to the veterinarian in a timely manner; the cost of delay is poisoning and a waste of resources for recovery.

In case of contact with human skin or mucous membranes, the substance is carefully removed with a cotton pad and washed with plenty of running water. When Fiprist is accidentally swallowed, you need to drink a lot of warm water (about 500-600 ml), take an adsorbent (activated carbon by weight or a similar product) orally and quickly consult a doctor.

Action

The mechanism of action of the drug Fiprist is due to the influence of the active component on the nervous system of the parasite. Under the influence of the drug, insects pedal. As a result of the action of the drug, the tick disappears on its own after a few hours, the same thing happens with fleas and lice eaters. If used correctly, you can get rid of all parasites with the help of the drug within a day.

After application, the drug is quickly absorbed into the skin without penetrating into the systemic bloodstream, due to which the product is considered safe and does not affect the pet’s important organs.

After application, the active component begins to be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the body, accumulating in the sebaceous glands, hair and in the upper layer of the epidermis, which determines the long-lasting effect of the medicine.

The drug has certain properties that ensure its safety for mammals and active effect on parasitic insects:

• blocking GABA parasite receptors;
• paralysis of the nervous system of arthropods.

The manufacturer produces the following types of insectoacaricides:

In juvenile forms, the maturation process is disrupted and they do not reach sexual maturity. The drug is applied to intact, dry and clean skin. The active substances are not absorbed into the bloodstream, but are distributed in the sebaceous glands, hair follicles, epidermis and provide long-lasting protection against parasites.

The problem of parasite infestation in pets is natural and can be easily solved with simple treatment.

If parasitic insects are found in cats or dogs, you should consult a veterinarian, examine the animal for wounds and begin treatment.

Indications for use

The medication is prescribed for the purpose of preventing and treating infestation of pets with ticks, lice-eaters, scabies, lice and fleas. The drug is used even in advanced cases, but it is necessary to use additional medications that will help restore the cat’s body. The indication for use is also an allergic form of dermatitis associated with the presence of fleas or other arthropod insects.

A friend had a nine-year-old cat. When he got a tick, she thought that it was just a banal allergic reaction, since the pet was itching a lot. As a result, the hair in the withers area came out. The friend did not take any treatment measures, but only changed the food. For some time the cat felt better, but after a short time the animal died. I do not advise anyone to self-medicate. Do not underestimate the subcutaneous mite, which can cause death. It is imperative to start treatment at the initial stage, as most veterinarians advise.

How to properly use Fiprist for dogs

The instructions recommend using the insecticide with a single application. The product should be applied pointwise to dry, healthy skin.

Before use, you must unscrew the cap on the medicine dropper. Then the pet is seated so that it is convenient to apply the medicine to the withers area. The fur in this area is pulled apart and, by pressing the pipette, the drug is applied to the skin at several points.

The amount of medication used once depends on the weight of the dog. For every 10 kilograms of animal weight, 67 mg of active substance is used. Accordingly, dogs weighing from 10 to 20 kg are treated with Fiprist at a dose of 1.34 mg of fiprinol, from 20 to 30 kg - 2.68 mg, from 40 kg - 4.02 mg. If this veterinary drug is used against ixodid ticks, then the duration of its use is 15-21 days. When the drug is used to get rid of fleas, it will provide protection for the dog for one and a half months. After this period, repeated preventive treatment of the pet is carried out.

If a dog is diagnosed with otodectosis (ear mites), then the instructions recommend instilling Fiprist every day, 4-6 drops in both ears. Then you need to carefully fold the ears in half and rub them to evenly distribute the insecticidal preparation. In this case, the remaining liquid in the pipette should be applied to the withers area. The instructions prohibit the use of a veterinary drug if an animal's eardrum is perforated.

After treating a dog with Fiprist, it is forbidden to bathe it for two days; for safety reasons, it is recommended to isolate it from children.

Complications and side effects are not observed if the recommended dosages are observed during treatment with this drug. If we talk about contraindications, the insecticide should not be used in dogs under eight weeks of age, exhausted and sick, or with hypersensitivity to its components.

Fiprist cannot be used even after its expiration date. It is 36 months. The instructions recommend storing the veterinary product out of reach of children, in closed packaging, at a temperature not exceeding 25°C, in a dark place.

Characteristics of Fiprist

The auxiliary components are polysorbate, povidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, butylated hydroxytoluene. The manufacturer packages the medicine in polyethylene pipettes of different sizes for ease of use. Fiprist is intended to combat external parasites and is an insectoacaricidal agent. It blocks the GABA receptors of parasites, resulting in their paralysis and death. The drug exhibits a pronounced insecticidal and acaricidal effect against fleas, lice, and lice at all stages and development. The medicine also destroys Cheylitella, Otodectos, and Ixodid ticks.

The peculiarity of the drug is that it does not have a systemic effect. Fiprist accumulates in the sebaceous glands of cats and cats, thus having a detrimental effect on “uninvited guests”. After application to the skin for 24 hours, the product is gradually distributed over the surface of the body, providing protection for the pet from external parasites.

According to the degree of impact on the animal’s body, Fiprist is classified as a moderately hazardous substance (hazard class 3). When it gets into the eyes, it causes slight mild irritation. But the drug is toxic for fish and rabbits.
