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.

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.

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