Pharmacological properties
ATCvet QP53, ectoparasiticides, insecticides and repellents (QP53BX05 –
ectoparasiticidal drugs for systemic use)
The active substance of the drug fluralaner is a compound with acaricidal and insecticidal properties, active against mites (Ixodes spp., Dermatocentor spp. And Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and fleas (Ctenocephalides spp.). Fluraner inhibits the activity of the nervous system of arthropods, acting as an antagonist in ligand-dependent chloride tubules (GABA and glutamate receptors).
Fluralaner does not cause resistance in animals, which is possible with the use of other insect-acaricidal compounds. Even at fairly low concentrations, fluralaner inhibits the reproductive function (laying eggs) of fleas.
Following oral administration, fluralaner is rapidly absorbed, reaching peak plasma concentrations within one day. Intake of food accelerates absorption. Fluralaner is distributed systemically and reaches its maximum concentration in adipose tissue and further in the liver, kidneys and muscles. Prolonged retention, slow excretion from blood plasma (t ,,, = 12 days) and lack of active metabolism provides maintenance of the effective concentration of fluralaner in the interval between injections. Fluralaner has an intestinal effect on fleas and ticks, causing the death of fleas in 8 hours after their attachment to the host, ticks – in 12 hours. Fluralaner is excreted mainly in unchanged form in the feces (up to 90% of the dose), renal excretion is negligible.
Application

The drug provides long-term (up to 12 weeks) systemic insecticidal and acaricidal protection of animals in the imaginal and juvenile stages of mite development (Ixodes ricinus, I. hexagonus, I. scapularis, /. Holocyclus, Dermacentor reticulates, D. variabilis and Rhipicephalus sanguine Ctenocephalides spp.). The drug causes the death of fleas in 8 hours after they hit the body of the host, ticks – in 12 hours.
