Golden Def for cats 4 – 8 kg, 1 ml, 3 pipette (imidacloprid, moxidectin)(Advocate, Advantage multi)
Structure
The active ingredient is imidacloprid, moxidectin; auxiliary components – benzyl alcohol, caprylic triglyceride, N-methylpyrolidone, PEG-400.
Pharmacological properties
Imidacloprid belongs to the group of chloronicotinyl compounds. Blocks postsynaptic cholinergic receptors that are sensitive to nicotine and are located in ectoparasites in the central nervous system. Interruption of the transmission of a nerve impulse leads to the death and paralysis of the parasite. Imidacloprid has a low level of penetration through the blood-brain barrier, therefore, practically does not affect the central nervous system of mammals.
Moxidectin belongs to the second generation of macrocyclic lactones of the milbemycin group. It works against many ecto- and endoparasites. It is active against larvae and gastrointestinal nematodes. Moxidectin interacts with gamma-amino-butyric acid and with glutaric chlorine tubules of parasites, which leads to the opening of chlorine tubules in the postsynaptic space. An increase in the amount of chlorine ions leads to an irreversible decrease in muscle activity, paralysis and death of parasites.
Application procedure
The drug is administered to animals once by drip on dry, intact skin. To eliminate ticks and fleas, cats are treated once, to prevent re-infestation throughout the season of parasite activity – according to indications, but not more often than once a month.
