Selamectin in the form of a 12% solution as an active ingredient contains selamectin, respectively, 120 mg / ml and auxiliary substances: isopropyl alcohol, butylhydroxytoluene, dimethyl sulfoxide.

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Selafort belongs to the antiparasitic drugs of the macrocyclic lactone group.

The active ingredient of the drug - selamectin has a wide spectrum of systemic nematodicidal, insecticidal and acaricidal action, is active against nematodes, insects and sarcoptoid mites parasitizing in dogs and cats, possessing larvicidal and ovocidal properties, interrupts the cycle of insect development. Pharmacokinetic properties of the drug ensure good absorption of selamectin from the site of application, long-term maintenance of therapeutic concentrations in the organs and tissues of the animal, which ensures the destruction of parasites and protection of animals from reinvasion for a month. The mechanism of action of selamectin lies in its ability to bind to receptors of cells (muscle and nervous tissue) of parasites, to increase the permeability of membranes for chlorine ions, which causes blockade of the conduction of nerve and muscle cells in nematodes, insects, ticks and leads to paralysis and death of parasites. Given that in mammals, receptors sensitive to selamectin are localized only in the central nervous system, and selamectin does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier, poisoning in dogs and cats is unlikely.

Selafort, according to the degree of impact on the body, belongs to moderately hazardous substances (hazard class 3 according to GOST 12.1.007-76), in recommended doses does not have a local irritant, resorptive-toxic and sensitizing effect, is well tolerated by cats and dogs of different breeds, including collies and related dog breeds. The drug is toxic to bees, as well as to fish and other aquatic organisms.

For the destruction of fleas (Ctenocefalides spp.) Selafort is used for dogs and cats once, to prevent re-invasion - once a month throughout the season of the greatest activity of insects.

For the prevention of dirofilariasis in the regions where Dirofilaria immitis is recorded, Selafort is applied to animals monthly, starting one month before the beginning of summer, the vectors of the pathogen - mosquitoes and mosquitoes, and ends no earlier than one month after the end of their summer. Selafort does not destroy sexually mature D. immitis, but reduces the number of circulating microfilariae and dirofilaria larvae, and can be used even by invasive animals.

When replacing chemotherapeutic agents in the program for the prevention of dirofilariasis, the interval between the use of Selafort and the previously used drug should be at least one month.

If necessary, the course of treatment is repeated after 1 month.

For the treatment of dogs with sarcoptic mange caused by S.canis, Selafort is used twice with an interval of 1 month; in order to prevent possible invasion, the drug is recommended: apply once a month.

For deworming dogs and cats with toxocariasis caused by Toxocara cati, Toxocara canis, ankylostomiasis caused by Ancylostoma tubaeformae, the drug is used for therapeutic purposes once, for prophylaxis - monthly.
