Indications for use and mechanism of action of drops

Inspector Total K drops are a combined antiparasitic drug for cats and dogs. Indicated for use if your pet has fleas, ticks and helminths, as well as for the prevention of infection with ecto- and endoparasites.

The cat was tormented by fleas!

“Inspector” - drops for cats, they are prescribed for the treatment and prevention of the following diseases:

  • entomosis - diseases caused by insects (fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, lice, lice);
  • Otodectosis is a disease caused by ear mites;
  • notoedrosis - damage to the upper layers of the skin by the parasite Notoedros Cati;
  • acarosis is a skin lesion caused by microscopic itch mites;
  • infection with ixodid and acariform ticks;
  • toxocariasis is a helminthic infestation caused by the helminth Toxocara cati;
  • toxascariasis - infestation by worms of the roundworm group;
  • uncinariasis - infestation by nematode worms;
  • anklystomosis - infestation by worms of the species Ancylostoma tubaeforme;
  • dirofilariasis is an infestation of heartworms that infect the heart chambers of their host.

Important! Even if the cat does not go outside, it still needs to be treated! People bring helminth and flea eggs on outdoor shoes.

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.

Visit to the veterinarian

How many times should I use the drug?

To rid an animal of parasites, it is enough to apply the drops just once. However, if you want to prevent re-infection, then treatment should be carried out every 4-6 weeks during the entire period of activity of blood-sucking parasites.

The drug begins to act after 24 hours. Therefore, if you decide to walk your animal in places where there is a large concentration of ticks, then the treatment should be carried out a day before the planned walk.

To destroy an attached tick, you need to apply 1 drop of the drug to the parasite itself and the place to which it has attached. It should fall off within 20 minutes. If this does not happen, then after the specified time has passed, carefully remove the tick using tweezers and destroy it.

When used in accordance with the instructions, “Inspector” does its job really well - fleas and ticks die within 3-4 hours after treatment, worms within 5-6 hours. Sometimes repeated treatment is required in order to “finish off” new individuals hatched from eggs.


Delcid

“Inspector” is an effective flea and tick drug for cats and does not pose a serious danger to the health of people and animals.

For more effective treatment against worms, veterinarians advise giving the cat a tablet 10-14 days after treatment with drops. Since “Inspector” drops for cats do not always work against worms.

Note! Since parasites do not live on cats, but only feed, if a flea or helminthic infestation is detected, the apartment must also be treated. It is better to throw away the pet's beds and pillows or wash them in a Delcid solution with bleach.

Description of the product

“Inspector” is a colorless liquid without sediment with a slight odor of alcohol. The drops are packaged in containers. The latter are also a pipette with which liquid is applied. The solution contains two active ingredients: moxidectin and fipronil.

Both of them are low-toxic and completely harmless to the health of humans and their pets, but are deadly to fleas and other arthropod insects. Fipronil can interfere with the absorption of chlorine.

This process inhibits the transmission of nerve impulses, simultaneously building a blockade of all body systems of the flea, which entails its rapid death. The liquid contains 2.5% moxidectin plus 10% fipronil. This is quite enough to destroy blood-sucking parasites.

But the good thing about the drops is that you don’t have to force the animal to eat the pills (my Motya regurgitates them).
  • Elena writes: “I liked the drug. My pet had an intolerance to helminthic drugs, we tried to give suspensions and tablets, but the result was vomiting foam at the mouth and grumbling of the pet. Attempts to give any drugs turned out to be nothing. The seller of the veterinary pharmacy advised me to use the “inspector”; according to the instructions, I determined the procedure, most importantly, I weighed the cat. He weighed 3.7 kg - he could safely apply the product. The effect is long lasting!”
