PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Milprazone tablets for dogs belong to the group of combined anthelmintic drugs with nematodicidal and cestodicidal action.

The active ingredients included in the preparation provide its wide spectrum of anthelmintic action.

Milbemycin oxime is a macrocyclic lactone obtained as a result of the enzymatic activity of Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. Aureolacrimosus, is active against larvae and imago of nematodes parasitizing in the gastrointestinal tract of dogs, as well as larvae of Dirofilaria immitis.

The mechanism of action of milbemycin is due to an increase in the permeability of cell membranes for chlorine ions (Cl-), which leads to overpolarization of the membranes of the cells of the nervous and muscle tissue, 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 pyrazinisoquinoline derivative that has a pronounced effect against cestodes and nematodes. 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.
