Mechanism of action

• LUFENURON (benzoylphenylurea group compound), an insecticide from the class of chitin synthesis inhibitors. This component has pronounced larvicidal properties and contact ovicidal activity, but has practically no effect on adult insects. The active substance is quickly absorbed in the stomach and slowly excreted. This ensures the maximum concentration of the drug for one month. Getting not only into the body of insects, but also into their eggs, lufenuron blocks the process of formation of chitin (the main component of insect cover). The death of larvae occurs as a result of disruption of the processes of cuticle formation

• MOXYDECTIN (milbemycin group compound). This component is active against pathogens of arachnoenthomosis, larvae and adults of nematodes. The principle of action is based on stimulating the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid to increase the permeability of membranes for chlorine ions. This, in turn, reduces the activity of helminth nerve cells, which further leads to muscle innervation, then to paralysis, and then to the death of nematodes. Moxidectin is cleared from the body within 6 weeks.

• PRAZIQUANTEL (a compound of the pyrazinisoquinoline group). This component complements the action of lufenuron, since its action is aimed at adult sexually mature ectoparasites and nematodes. The principle of action is based on inducing the breakdown of tegument and inhibition of fumarate reductase, persistent depolarization of helminth muscle cells. Disorders of energy metabolism in the nervous system lead to paralysis, and subsequently to the death of cestodes. This active substance is absorbed into the blood through the gastrointestinal tract 1-3 hours after taking the tablet. Then it is evenly distributed in the organs and tissues of the animal, binds to serum proteins (70-80%), is partially metabolized in the liver, and re-excreted into the intestine. Almost completely (up to 80%) is excreted from the animal’s body in urine within 2 days.

About properties

The drug Inspector for dogs is available in the form of drops. The liquid composition of Inspector Total has a slight alcoholic odor and does not form sediment. To facilitate the processing process, the medicine is placed in polymer pipettes.

Drops on the withers Inspector contain two insecticidal components:

• Fipronil (10%) - a combination of phenyl prevents the body from absorbing chlorine, which results in blocking the transmission of nerve impulses. This leads to a blockade of the pest’s vital systems and its inevitable death.
• Moxidectin (2.5%) is a milbemycin that affects the functioning of nerve receptors. This leads to disruption of muscle activity, resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite.

A relatively safe product for dogs, it is deadly for arthropods. In addition, the action of the insecticidal composition does not cause irritation, and also does not affect the immune system and the fetus during the animal’s pregnancy.

Drops Inspector for fleas for dogs

A wide range of applications is another advantage of Inspector Total drops. The composition is effective against:

• fleas, lice and lice;
• sarcoptic, ear, ixodid and demodectic mites;
• sexually mature intestinal nematodes and their larvae.

On a note!

Inspector Total C drops for dogs can also be used to combat helminths in cats.

The cost of one pipette with a drop of Inspector varies depending on the dose from 200 to 300 rubles.

Duration of protection and speed of impact

The duration of the protective antiparasitic effect of the drug (with a single use) is up to 5 weeks.

The effect of the drug is manifested:

— INSECTICIDAL after 24 hours, reaching the maximum level after 48 hours;

— ACARICIDAL after 24 hours, taking this into account, treatments should be carried out no later than 24 hours before the animal is supposed to walk in places where ticks may live (parks, squares, forests).

(*) - content of lufenuron/moxidectin/praziquantel in 1 tablet.

(**) - the weight of the animal (dog or cat) for which the number of tablets is calculated.

b) Preventive protection

Inspector Quadro Tabs tablets are taken ONCE, to prevent re-infestation - once every 4-6 weeks throughout the entire season of ectoparasite activity.

To achieve maximum protection for animals, it is necessary to treat booths, cages, bedding and blankets, and other items with insectoacaricidal agents. This will not only destroy ectoparasites in the room, but also prevent re-infestation. Infestation (from Latin infestare - to attack) - infection of the human or animal body with parasites.

To prevent HELMINTHISIS, the drug is given once every 3 months, and 10 - 14 days before each subsequent vaccination.

To prevent DYROFILARIOSIS, Inspector Quadro Tabs tablets are given to animals in the spring-summer-autumn period once before the start of the flight of mosquitoes and mosquitoes (carriers of the pathogen D. immitis). Then - once a month. The last dose is 1 month after the end of insect flight. Inspector Quadro Tabs tablets do not destroy sexually mature dirofilariae, but reduce the number of microfilariae circulating in the blood and can also be safely used by infested animals.

c) Treatment

If an animal is infected with SARCOPTOSIS, NOTOEDZOSIS, or DEMODECOSIS, treatment is carried out under the supervision of a veterinarian. “Inspector Quadro Tabs” tablets are given according to the following scheme: 2-5 times with an interval of 7-14 days until the animal’s clinical recovery. Recovery is confirmed by two negative results of acarological studies. Treatment is carried out comprehensively using pathogenetic and symptomatic drugs.

In case of infection of an animal with HELMINTHISIS, the tablets are given once, but if the infection is severe, the drug is given again after 10-14 days.

IMPORTANT: If the next treatment is missed, the use of the drug is resumed at the same dose according to the same regimen.

Instructions for use and dosage

Inspector Total C is intended for external treatment of animals. It is applied pointwise at the base of the back of the head and on the withers (between the shoulder blades). Make sure that the solution gets on the skin: it is important that the drug is absorbed - if the liquid flows down the fur, the medication will not work.

The dosage of the Total C series drugs is calculated from the formula 0.1 ml per kg of weight, for animals weighing less than 1 kg - 0.05 ml (1 drop) per 500 g. If Inspector Mini is used, and the pet’s weight exceeds 2 kg, then use 0.2 ml per kg.

Buy a dosage form corresponding to the weight of the animal. Dosages are listed below.

If the animal’s weight exceeds 40 kg, take a 6 ml package. If the dog weighs more than 60 kg, combine two pipettes of different packaging, whose total volume is as close as possible to the size of the pet.

The procedure and timing of use depend on the purpose of use:

1. To get rid of ectoparasites, the solution is applied to the withers once.
2. For preventive purposes, the drug is used every 1-1.5 months from early spring to late autumn. It is advisable to apply the solution a day before walking the dog in places with a high risk of infection: forests, fields, parks, etc.
3. If an attached tick is detected, the Inspector is applied pointwise to the parasite and to the skin at the site of its attachment. After 20 minutes, the insect is removed if it has not fallen off on its own.
4. For ear scabies, clean the shell and instill 3-5 drops of the solution into each ear. Afterwards the ears are folded and massaged. The rest of the medication is squeezed onto the withers. The treatment is repeated a month later. Such therapy is unacceptable if the eardrum is perforated - in this case, the drug is applied between the shoulder blades at the base of the neck.
5. For subcutaneous scabies, scabs are removed and Inspector is applied to the affected areas, covering a few millimeters of healthy skin. The procedure is carried out 2-4 times, with a break of 7-10 days between each procedure.
6. In case of worm infestation, dogs are treated once. To prevent helminths, the drug is used monthly.
7. To avoid dirofilariasis, dogs are treated monthly. The first procedure is carried out a month before the start of summer of insect vectors (mosquitoes, mosquitoes), the last one – a month after the end of summer.

After applying the medication and before it dries, it is advisable to tighten the pet’s jaws with braid or put on a muzzle. This trick will prevent licking. Swimming in bathtubs and ponds is also prohibited for 4 days.

Positive reviews

EFB

We treated the cat with Inspector Total drops many times and was happy with the results, plus there were no problems with tolerance. Therefore, when a dog appeared in the house, the Inspector drops, tested many times, were also purchased for him. Our puppy is a dwarf German Spitz breed, which means the coat is very padded and thick. Therefore, when they poured the drops between the shoulder blades, they did not notice any trace or fat content at all. The puppy also seemed not to notice the manipulations performed on him. The drug was tolerated well, without any unpleasant complications. I scratch my dog ​​daily and haven't found any fleas or ticks.

Excellent drops for fleas and ticks. My dog's breed is Chihuahua, weight 1.8 kg, these drops are exactly what suits her. Others tried it, she had toxic poisoning. The smell is minimal, the dog will not go, the quality is excellent. If you follow the instructions (and this means processing every 30 days), then there will be no fleas or ticks. We have been using these drops for 3 years now. In the summer we go to the countryside and into nature, it works perfectly, parasites have never been found on the dog’s skin.
