The active ingredients of the drops - fipronil and moxidectin - paralyze the nerve receptors of parasites, which leads to their paralysis and death.

After applying the drug to the skin, fipronil is distributed over the surface of the cat's skin without being absorbed into the bloodstream. It remains on the skin and coat for a long time, providing protection against ectoparasites. Moxidectin is well absorbed into the bloodstream, kills endoparasites and provides long-term protection against them.

The drug is eliminated from the body on its own within 28-30 days.

It is known that pets are at risk of infection with countless parasites all year round: ticks, fleas, and all kinds of helminths. Usually, to protect and prevent a pet, it was necessary to use 2 types of drugs: insectoacaricidal (against external parasites) and anthelmintic (against internal parasites).

Pharmacological properties:

Inspector Quadro K belongs to the pharmacotherapeutic group of antiparasitic drugs in combinations.

The active components included in the drug provide its wide spectrum of antiparasitic action against sarcoptoid ticks (Notoedres cati, Otodectes cynotis), fleas (Ctenocephalides felis), lice beetles (Felicola subrostratus) and ixodid ticks (Dermacentor spp., Rhipicephalus spp., Ixodes spp.) , as well as larval and mature phases of development of nematodes (Toxocara mistax, Taxascaris leonina, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma caninum), cestodes (Dipylidium caninum, Alveococus multilocularis, Taenia spp., Mesocestoides lineatus, Diphyllobothrium latum), larval phases of development (microfilaria) Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens, parasitic in cats.

Fipronil is an insectoacaricide of the phenylpyrazoles group; its mechanism of action is to block GABA-dependent arthropod receptors, disrupt the transmission of nerve impulses and the activity of the nervous system, which leads to paralysis and death of ectoparasites.

Praziquantel is a compound of the pyrazinisoquinoline group that has a pronounced effect against mature and immature cestodes; its mechanism of action is based on inducing the disintegration of the tegument and inhibition of fumarate reductase, persistent depolarization of helminth muscle cells, disruption of energy metabolism, which causes paralysis and death of cestodes and promotes their removal from the gastrointestinal tract.

Moxidectin is a semi-synthetic compound of the milbemycin group (macrocyclic lactones), having a stimulating effect on the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid and binding to postsynaptic receptors, causing disruption of muscle innervation, paralysis and death of ectoparasites and nematodes.

Pyriproxyfen, disrupting the hormonal balance of arthropods, causes developmental anomalies and sterilization of adults. The mechanism of action of pyriproxyfen is to disrupt the processes of chitin synthesis and molting of larvae, prevents the development of full-fledged pupae and causes the death of insects in the preimaginal phases of development, which leads to the cessation of replenishment of the ectoparasite population.

After skin application, fipronil and pyriproxyfen, which are part of the drug Inspector Quadro K, are quickly distributed over the surface of the epidermis and have a contact insectoacaricidal effect, preventing infestation by insects and ticks. Moxidectin and praziquantel penetrate the systemic bloodstream, are distributed in organs and tissues and have a systemic antiparasitic effect on intestinal nematodes, cestodes, heartworm larvae migrating in the bloodstream, as well as sarcoptic, demodectic and ixodid ticks. The insectoacaricidal and anthelmintic effect of the drug after a single treatment lasts 4-6 weeks.

In terms of the degree of impact on the body, Inspector Quadro K is classified as a moderately hazardous substance (hazard class 3 according to GOST 12.1.007-76); in recommended doses it does not have a locally irritating, resorptive-toxic or sensitizing effect. The drug is toxic to rabbits, bees, fish and other aquatic organisms.

To kill fleas, lice and ixodid ticks, the drug is applied dropwise (“spot-on”) to the skin in places inaccessible for licking - between the shoulder blades at the base of the neck. Treatment of animals for therapeutic purposes is carried out once, to prevent re-infestation - once every 4-6 weeks throughout the entire season of ectoparasite activity.

In order to prevent re-infestation by fleas, the animals' bedding is replaced or treated with an approved insecticide in accordance with the instructions for use.

The acaricidal effect of the drug manifests itself after 12-24 hours; taking this into account, treatments should be carried out no later than 24 hours before the intended walking of animals in places where ixodid ticks may live (parks, squares, forests).

To destroy attached ixodid ticks on the body of an animal, Inspector Quadro K in the amount of 1 drop is applied to the tick and the place of its attachment to the skin. If the tick does not fall off spontaneously within 20 minutes, it is carefully pulled out of the skin with tweezers and destroyed.

To treat otodectosis, the external auditory canal is cleaned of scabs and crusts, then 3 drops of the drug are instilled into each ear (the drops must be injected into both ears), the auricle is folded in half and its base is massaged. The remainder of the drug in the pipette or tube used (based on the weight of the animal) is applied to the skin between the shoulder blades. Treatment is carried out 2-3 times with an interval of 7-10 days. When complicated by otitis media, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed.

If necessary, the course of treatment is repeated after 1 month under microscopy control of scrapings.

Treatment is carried out 2-4 times with an interval of 7-10 days. Animals with large affected areas are treated in two doses with an interval of 1 day, applying the drug to the affected areas of first one and then the other half of the body. Treatment is recommended to be carried out comprehensively with the use of pathogenetic and symptomatic drugs until the animal’s clinical recovery, which is confirmed by two negative results of microscopic examinations of scrapings.

To prevent licking of the drug, the animal is put on a muzzle, a cervical collar, or the jaws are closed with a loop of braid, which are removed 20 minutes after applying the drug.

For deworming, Inspector Quadro K is used by applying to the skin in the doses indicated in the table, for therapeutic purposes once, for prophylactic purposes - once a month.

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 summer against mosquitoes and mosquitoes (carriers of the pathogen D. Immitis) once, then once a month and the last time in the season 1 month after the end of flight insects

Inspector Quadro K does not destroy sexually mature dirofilariae, but reduces the number of microfilariae circulating in the blood and can also be safely used by infested animals.

The drug should not be applied to wet or damaged skin; the animal should not be washed for 4 days after treatment with the drug.

As a rule, there are no side effects or complications when using the drug Inspector Quadro K in accordance with these instructions. In rare cases, individual skin reactions (redness, itching) are possible, which resolve spontaneously and do not require the use of medications. If allergic reactions occur in an animal sensitive to the components of the drug, the drug should be thoroughly washed off with soap and water and the fur should be rinsed with plenty of running water, and, if necessary, antihistamines and symptomatic agents should be prescribed.

In case of an overdose, the animal may experience depression, excessive salivation, muscle tremors, and vomiting. In this case, the drug is thoroughly washed off with water and the animal is prescribed symptomatic therapy.

Inspector Quadro K should not be used simultaneously with other antiparasitic drugs, due to possible mutual enhancement of toxicity.

No specific effects of the drug upon first use or upon its discontinuation have been identified.

Violations of the regimen for using Inspector Quadro K should be avoided, as this may lead to a decrease in its effectiveness. If the next treatment is missed, the use of the drug should be resumed at the same dose according to the same regimen.
