Chemical composition and pharmacological properties

1 tablet of Dironet tablets contains pyrantel pamoate - 150 mg, praziquantel - 50 mg and ivermectin - 0.06 mg (as active ingredients), as well as excipients. Dironet tablets are intended for dogs.
1 ml of Dironet suspension contains pyrantel pamoate - 15 mg, praziquantel - 5 mg and ivermectin - 0.006 mg (as active ingredients), as well as excipients. Dironet suspension is manufactured for cats (salmon flavour) and dogs (fresh meat flavour).
The mechanism of Dironet action includes broad-spectrum nematodocidic and cestodocidic effect, activity related to roundworms and tapeworms parasitizing dogs and cats (including Toxocara canis, Т. cati, Toxascaris leonina, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma caninum, Trichuris vulpis, Echinococcus granulosus, E. multilocularis, Diphyllobothrium latum, Dipylidium caninum, Multiceps multiceps, Taenia spp., as well as larval development phases (microfilaria) of Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens.
Mechanism of ivermectin action involves binding with glutamate-gated chloride channels located mainly in swallowing and somatic muscles. As a result, membrane permeability to chloride ions increases, neuromuscular impulse transmission is blocked leading to paralysis and death of a parasite.
Mechanism of pyrantel pamoate action involves block of neuromuscular impulse transmission, damage of cellular membrane permeability and cholinesterase inhibition also causing paralysis and death of a parasite.
Mechanism of praziquantel action is based on damage of glucose transport and microtubule function in cestodes, inhibition of fumarate reductase and ATP synthesis, increase in cellular membrane permeability and muscular innervation disorder.
