Composition and pharmacological properties.
Dironet® 200 for dogs of small breeds and puppies, contains in one biconvex pyrantel tablet pamoat 60 mg, praziquantel 20 mg and ivermectin 0, 024 mg. Dose - 1 tablet per 4 kg of body weight of the animal.Dironet® 200 has a broad spectrum of nematodocidal and cestocidal effects, and is active against round and ribbon helminths parasitic in dogs and cats, including Toxocara canis, T. cati, Toxascaris leonina, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma, chyne, chytophyschisis, chytosephala, Ignacaris leonina, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma, chytophyscaris leonina. granulosus, E. multilocularis, Diphyllobothrium latum, Dipylidium caninum, Multiceps multiceps, Taenia spp., as well as the larval development phases (microfilariae) of Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens.
The mechanism of action of ivermectin is to bind to glutamate-dependent chlorine channels, located mainly in the swallowing and somatic muscles. As a result, the membrane permeability to chlorine ions increases, the transmission of the neuromuscular impulse is blocked, paralysis and parasite death occur.
The mechanism of action of pyrantel pamoat is to block the neuromuscular transmission, impair the permeability of cell membranes and inhibit cholinesterase, which also leads to paralysis and death of the parasite.
The mechanism of action of praziquantel is based on impaired glucose transport and microtubule function in cestodes, inhibition of fumarate reductase activity and ATP synthesis, increased permeability of cell membranes and impaired muscle innervation.
Indications for use.
