PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Bravekto refers to insectoacaricidal drugs of systemic action.

Fluralaner included in the preparation - (4- [5- (3,5-dichlorophenyl) -5- (trifluoromethyl) -4H-isoxazol-3-yl] -2-methyl-N- [2-oxo-2- (2 , 2,2-trifluoroethylamino) ethyl] benzamide) - insectoacaricide of the isoxazoline group, active against fleas (Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis) and ticks (adults and larvae of Ixodes ricinus, variabilis and Rhipicephalus sanguineus) parasitizing dogs.

The mechanism of action of fluralaner consists in blocking GABA-dependent and glutamate-dependent receptors in arthropods, hyperexcitation of neurons, impaired transmission of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and death of ectoparasites.

After oral administration of the drug, fluralaner is easily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and reaches the systemic circulation, the maximum plasma concentration is reached within 1 day, bioavailability is 20-27%, feed intake accelerates absorption. Fluralaner is excreted slowly, mainly in unchanged form with feces (~ 90% of the dose) and partially with urine, the half-life is 12 days.

The drug begins to act 4 hours after application and causes the death of fleas 8 hours after attachment to the host's body, ticks - after 12 hours, preventing re-infestation of dogs with ectoparasites. The death of fleas occurs before the laying of eggs, which prevents the contamination of premises with eggs and larvae.
