General information

Inspector drops are manufactured in Russia; the manufacturer is the Ecoprom company.

The drug is intended for external use only. Available in the form of a solution, which is a light yellowish or colorless oily liquid, which is packaged in polymer pipettes of 0.4; 1; 2.5; 4 ml. These pipettes are packaged in polymer blisters, which are placed in cardboard boxes along with instructions.

“Inspector” - drops must be stored in the manufacturer’s packaging in a dark, dry place, away from feed and food, at a temperature of - 0°C - 30°C. After opening the package, the drops must be used immediately; storing them open is unacceptable. The drug remains valid for 3 years from the date of production.

Dosage

Calculating the dose of the drug to be applied is important; you need to take into account the weight of the cat. If it is a large cat, its weight exceeds 8 kg, then you need to take 0.1 ml per 1 kg of weight. You can combine pipettes to obtain the required amount of solution.

The drug is packaged for cats less than 4 kg, the nominal dose in a pipette is 0.4 ml. For cats from 4 to 8 kg, the dose in the pipette will be 0.8 ml.

If there is a need to treat a cat for helminths and diseases weighing less than 1 kg, then take a drop (0.05 ml) per half a kilo of the animal’s weight.

The principle of action of the medicine

Due to the content of 2 active components at once, the drug has a combined effect. Fipronil is distributed throughout the skin and coat of cats, accumulates in the epidermis, hair follicles and ducts of the sebaceous glands. Upon contact with a bloodsucker, it blocks the passage of a nerve impulse in its body, disrupting the functioning of the central nervous system, leading to paralysis and death.

Moxidectin enters the bloodstream through the skin and, having a neurotoxic effect, paralyzes ectoparasites and worms, which no longer adhere to the intestinal walls and are excreted in the feces. It is almost completely excreted in feces and, if the dosage is observed, does not have a toxic effect. The active substances remain in the body for a long time, which provides long-term protection: from ticks - up to 4 weeks, from fleas and lice - up to 6.

• blue cap for cats 2.5-7.5 kg;
• A brown-gray cap is needed for cats weighing over 7.5 kg.

• Otodectosis (ear scabies). It is caused by the sarcoptic mite otodectes cynotis, which parasitizes on the surface of the ears and is capable of penetrating deep into the ear.
• Sarcoptic mange. The causative agent is a tick mite of the genus Sarcoptes. It parasitizes the epidermal layer of the skin, creating numerous passages in it. The disease is accompanied by unbearable itching.
• Entomosis. The term unites a large group of diseases that are caused by temporary (bugs, mosquitoes) and permanent (fleas, lice eaters, ticks) parasites of animals.
• Notoedrosis. The culprit of the disease is the subcutaneous mite notoedres cati, which parasitizes under the epidermis, causing inflammation of the deep layers of the skin.
• Demodecosis. The causative agent of the disease is the demodex mite. It lives in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands of most animals permanently. When the immune system is weakened, it begins to actively multiply, causing redness of the skin, itching and hair loss.
• Acarosis. The disease is caused by intradermal parasites and is accompanied by inflammation and skin itching, therefore it is also called pruritic scabies.

The drug is used not only for medicinal but also for preventive purposes; in particular, it can prevent the development of dirofilariasis. This disease is caused by the helminth dirofilaria immitis, its main carriers are mosquitoes and mosquitoes.

Pharmacological properties

The unique combination of moxidectin and fipronil in Inspector Total K drops provides a wide spectrum of action against ixoid, sarcoptic, demodectic, scabies mites, lice (lice mites), and fleas. The veterinary drug is used for the treatment and prevention of helminthiases caused by tape, flat, and round intestinal parasites. Kills endoparasites at all stages of their development (larval forms, mature worms).

Fipronil belongs to the group of phenylpyrazole compounds. The mechanism of action is to block the passage of chlorine ions into the cell membranes of parasitic arthropod insects, disrupting neuromuscular impulses, which leads to the instant death of ticks, fleas, and lice.

Moxidoxin is a semi-synthetic substance from the milbemycin group. Stimulates the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid, binds to postsynaptic receptors, disrupts muscle innervation. Paralysis of muscle structures leads to the death of ectoparasites and intestinal worms.

The inspector destroys fleas, ticks, lice, and provides protection against re-infestation

After the treatment, fipronil, practically without being absorbed, is evenly distributed over the surface of the animal’s body and is retained on the epidermis and coat. It has a prolonged contact insectoacaricidal effect.

Moxidoxin is absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract and spreads through the bloodstream to organs and tissues, sites of localization of internal parasites. It is excreted unchanged from the body of cats, mainly in feces.

The insecticidal effect after treatment lasts for five to six weeks, the acaricidal effect for 28-30 days. The maximum effect occurs 12-24 hours after treatment.

After the advice of a veterinarian, Inspector began using drops. This turned out to be very convenient, because... One application can affect all types of parasites. I know from the instructions that there may be allergies, but my cats tolerate it well. And the effect is consistent, I do not observe any pests on animals after the treatments.
