PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Helmintal C belongs to the combined antiparasitic drugs.
The combination of moxidectin and ttraziquantel, which are part of the drug, provides a wide spectrum of its antiparasitic action, including against larval and mature phases of development of intestinal nematodes, including Ancylostoma tubaeforrne and Toxocara cati, cestodes (Dipylidium caninum, Taenia spp., EchinococcГn) phases of development (microfilariae) Dirofilaria immitsis and Dirofilaria repens, demodectic (Demodex canis) and sarcoptoid (Noloedres cati. Otodectes cynotis) ticks, fleas (Stenocephalides canis) and lice-eaters (Trichodectes canis), dogs.
Moxidectin is a semi-synthetic compound of the second generation of macrocyclic lactones of the milbemycin group. Insects, sarcoptoid mites and nematodes are active. The mechanism of its action is due to the interaction with gamma-aminobutyric acid and glutaric chloride tubules of parasites, which causes the opening of chlorine tubules in the postsynaptic space and an increase in the amount of chlorine ions, leading to an irreversible decrease in muscle activity, paralysis and death of nematodes and ectoparasites.
Praziquantel is a pyrazine-isoquinoline derivative with a pronounced effect against cestodes and nematodes. By increasing the permeability of the parasite's cell membranes for calcium ions (Ca2 +), it causes membrane depolarization, muscle contraction and destruction of the tegument, which leads to the death of the helminth and promotes its excretion from the animal's body.
The maximum concentrations of praziquantel and moxidectin when applied externally are noted in the blood of cats after 2-4 days; compounds are excreted from the body mainly in the urine unchanged and partially in the metabolized form within 28-30 days.
