Cestal cat is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug, which contains the active ingredients: praziquantel and pyrantela embonate, effective against tape and round helminths.
Praziquantel is a pyrazinisoquinolone derivative that is rapidly absorbed through the outer shell of tapeworms, resulting in damage and contraction. The consequence of a violation of the penetrating properties of membranes is paralysis of parasites. Praziquantel is rapidly absorbed in the alimentary canal. Its highest concentration in blood plasma is observed 1-2 hours after administration, it is rapidly metabolized and excreted up to 80% in the form of metabolites by the kidneys, with 90% in the first 24 hours.
Pyrantela embonate, a tetrahydropyrimidine derivative, acts as a cholinergic antagonist, causing spastic paralysis of round helminths by depolarizing neuromuscular blockade. In the body of cats, pyrantel is poorly absorbed in the alimentary canal and after administration per os at a dose of 10 mg / kg of body weight, its concentration in blood plasma is 0.005-0.13 μg / ml after 1-3 hours. Pyrantel, absorbed into the circulatory system, is partially metabolized in the liver to N-methyl-1,3-propanodiamine. Half of the dose (50%) of pyrantel is excreted unchanged in the feces, about 7% in the urine unchanged or in the form of metabolites.
