PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Milbemax tablets for dogs are a combined anthelmintic drug of nematodicidal and cestodicidal action.

Milbemycin oxime, which is part of the preparation, belongs to the group of macrocyclic lactones released as a result of the enzymatic activity of Streptomyces hygroscopkus var. aureolacrimosus, is active against larvae and adults of nematodes parasitizing in the gastrointestinal tract of dogs, as well as larvae of the nematode Dirofilaria immitis. The mechanism of action of milbemycin is due to an increase in the permeability of cell membranes for chloride ions (CI), which leads to overpolarization of the membranes of nerve and muscle tissue cells, paralysis and death of the parasite. The maximum concentration of milbemycin oxime in the blood plasma of dogs is reached within 2-4 hours, the bioavailability is about 80%. The compound is excreted from the body mainly unchanged. Praziquantel is an acylated pyrazine isoquinoline derivative, has 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 parasite and promotes its excretion from the animal's body. The maximum plasma concentration of praziquantel in dogs is reached after 1-4 hours. The compound undergoes rapid and almost complete biotransformation in the liver. The level of binding in plasma is about 80%, it is excreted from the body within 2 days mainly in the urine. The maximum plasma concentration of praziquantel in dogs is reached after 1-4 hours. The compound undergoes rapid and almost complete biotransformation in the liver. The level of binding in plasma is about 80%, it is excreted from the body within 2 days mainly in the urine. The maximum plasma concentration of praziquantel in dogs is reached after 1-4 hours. The compound undergoes rapid and almost complete biotransformation in the liver. The level of binding in plasma is about 80%, it is excreted from the body within 2 days mainly in the urine.

INDICATIONS

Milbemax tablets for dogs are prescribed for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes for nematodes, cestodes and mixed nematodes-cestodes infections caused by helminths of the following types: cestodes - Dipylidium caninum, Taenia spp., Echinocoaus multilocularis, Mesocestoides spp .; nematodes - Ancylostoma caninum, Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, Trichuris vulpis, Renosoma vulpis (reduces the intensity of infection), Angiostrongylus vasorum (reduces the intensity of infection), Dirofilaria immitis (for prophylactic purposes).

DOSES AND METHOD OF APPLICATION

Milbemax tablets for dogs are used once during feeding in crushed form with a small amount of food or injected forcibly onto the root of the tongue after feeding in a minimum therapeutic dose of 0.5 mg of milbemycin oxime + 5 mg of praziquantel per 1 kg of animal weight, based on:

Animal weight, kg Dosage

0.5-1 kg 1/2 tablets

1-5 kg 1 tablet

5-10 kg 2 tablets

A preliminary fasting diet and the use of laxatives before deworming are not required.

For deworming dogs with invasion caused by Angiostrongylus vasorum, Milbemax tablets are used in the same dose four times with an interval of 7 days. In order to prevent dirofilariasis in regions unfavorable for the disease, the drug is used in the spring-summer-autumn period: before the start of flight of mosquitoes and mosquitoes (carriers of the pathogen D. immitis) once, then once a month and the last time in the season no earlier than 1 month after the end of the flight of insects. Before deworming, you should consult a veterinarian to exclude the presence of microfilariae in the animal's blood.

With significant overdose, some dogs may experience depression, drooling, muscle paresis, tremors, and / or an uneven gait. These symptoms disappear spontaneously within 24 hours and do not require the use of drugs.

SIDE EFFECTS

When using the drug in accordance with this instruction, side effects and complications, as a rule, are not observed. In some dogs with increased species or individual sensitivity to the components of the drug, allergic reactions may develop; in these cases, the animal is prescribed desensitizing agents.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Depleted and sick with infectious diseases animals are not subject to deworming.
