Drops for dogs from 10 to 25 kg Bayer GL Advantix 250C 4 pipettes

Description

The drug effectively protects dogs from fleas, ticks, lice, mosquitoes, midges, mosquitoes, flies and lice. The drops have these properties due to the presence of potent insecticides in their composition: permethrin and imidacloprid. When applied, these components do not penetrate the dog’s bloodstream, accumulating in the epidermis. Exposure to active substances leads to disruption of nerve impulses, causing paralysis and death of the insect. Fleas die within 12 hours from the moment of application. The animal manages to get rid of ticks within 2 days. The result will be faster and more effective if the solution is applied directly to the insect's body.

The presence of insecticidal components in the drops classifies them as moderately dangerous. Therefore, it is very important not to exceed the recommended dose, which is suggested by the instructions for use of Advantix drops for dogs.

Advantix is ​​a yellow-brown oily liquid, which is produced in tubes (4 pieces in one package). The dosage varies depending on the weight of the animal: a tube with a capacity of 0.4 ml is intended for dogs weighing up to 4 kg, 1 ml - for animals up to 10 kg, 2.5 ml - for pets up to 25 kg, for treating the largest dogs (up to 40 kg) the required dose is 4 ml.

Advantix flea drops, reviews confirm this, are in great demand among consumers, as they have many advantages.

1. Efficiency - the result becomes noticeable after just a few hours.
2. The product does not require repeated use, like shampoo or a collar, because it has a long period of action. The shampoo destroys parasites, but not completely, since fleas can hide on the animal’s head during bathing. Frequent use of detergent is unsafe for your pet's skin and coat. If we talk about collars, they are more effective in this regard. However, not every animal likes such an accessory.
3. Easy to use - just apply the product to your dog's skin.
4. Affordable price.

Advantix anti-flea drops were especially appreciated by hunting enthusiasts who spend a long time with their pets in natural conditions where a huge number of ticks are concentrated.

How much does the product cost and where can I buy it?

The price of Advantix drops is quite high, but reviews about them are mostly positive. Costs may vary at different pet stores and veterinary pharmacies. For one pipette you will need to pay:

• Product for small dogs up to 4 kg – 287 rubles.
• 4-10 kg – 400 rubles.
• 10-25 kg – 432 rubles.
• More than 25 kg – 475 rubles.

The drug can be purchased in almost all stores and pharmacies for animals. If you can’t find it, you can buy analogues. These include the following drops:

• Mr. Bruno.
• Advocate.
• Leopard.
• Frontline.

If the question is whether Advantix or Frontline is better, you should understand that the latter product provides protection against mosquitoes and flies before they bite.

About the manufacturer

Advantix drops on the withers are produced by the German pharmaceutical company Bayer. It has been operating since 1863, today it is a leader in the development and sale of various chemicals, preparations and fertilizers. The manufacturer regularly examines its products; all substances undergo strict laboratory and field studies.

Veterinary products are one of the key areas of the organization. They are dealt with within the Animal Health business unit, whose laboratories and production facilities are located all over the world. The main activity of this area is the development and sale of various solutions for the treatment and prevention of diseases of domestic and farm animals.

Composition and action

In the spring and summer, the dog is at risk of becoming infected with ticks, which are carriers of many dangerous diseases. Fleas attack your pet all year round. And even dogs that live indoors almost all the time are no exception, so regular prevention is necessary.

Advantix begins to act quickly: within a few minutes the itching stops, and within 12 hours after using the drug, all blood-sucking insects are almost 100% destroyed. The protection is valid for a month.

The effectiveness of the medicine is ensured by the two active components included in the solution. Imidacloprid is a chemical substance, a neonicotinoid, that acts on the central nervous system of the ectoparasite, causing blockage of nerve impulses. In small doses the substance is safe for pets, but if the dose is exceeded it is toxic.

Permitrin

– neurotoxin. By specifically acting on the nerve cells of the ectoparasite, it causes rapid paralysis and then the death of the insect.

Important! Low toxicity for dogs, permitrin is dangerous for cats. When treating dogs, contact of the animal with cats and puppies under 7 weeks should be excluded for at least a day.

Description

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES Imidacloprid and permethrin, which are part of Advantix, exhibiting synergistic action, have a systemic, contact and repellent effect on insects and ixodid ticks that parasitize dogs. The drug is effective against the imaginal and preimaginal phases of development of lice, fleas, lice and ixodid ticks, and protects animals from attacks by mosquitoes, midges and mosquitoes. The mechanism of action of the synthetic pyrethroid permethrin is to block the transmission of nerve impulses, which causes impaired coordination of movements, paralysis and death of ectoparasites. Imidacloprid belongs to the group of chloronicotinyl insecticides, the mechanism of action of which is based on interaction with acetylcholine receptors of arthropods and disruption of the transmission of nerve impulses. Acting as an activator of the nerve ganglion of arthropods, imidacloprid enhances the insecticidal and acaricidal effect of permethrin. After using Advantix, its active components, practically without being absorbed into the systemic bloodstream, are quickly distributed over the surface of the body and retained on the epidermis and fur, and have a long-term contact insecto-acaricidal and repellent effect. In terms of the degree of toxic effects on the body, Advantix is ​​classified as a moderately hazardous substance; in recommended doses it does not have resorptive-toxic, embryotoxic, teratogenic, mutagenic or sensitizing effects; if it gets into the eyes, it causes mild irritation. The drug is toxic to cats, bees, as well as fish and other aquatic organisms. INDICATIONS For the destruction of insects and ixodid ticks that parasitize dogs, as well as to protect animals from their attacks.

Can fleas develop immunity to the drug?

Some owners notice that even after regular treatment, fleas continue to torment the animal. There are myths that insects can develop immunity to insecticides. This claim has no scientific evidence. Treatment will help eliminate parasites only from the animal’s skin. But many insects will continue to live quietly in the pet’s bedding or booth. Therefore, if a week after treatment, live fleas are noticed in the dog’s fur, this means that the parasites have migrated from the external environment. There is no need to worry: the fleas will not be able to feed and will quickly die.

Is Advantix dangerous for a dog's health?

Many owners say that the drug causes allergies in dogs. But veterinarian reports indicate that complications develop in 25% of animals. The most common side effects are: redness and irritation of the skin; changes in behavior; chemical burns; increased excitability; dyspnea; diarrhea; vomit. Side effects usually go away without additional medical intervention, but only if the owner carefully followed the instructions and warnings in the instructions. The medicine is harmful to the mucous membranes, so you need to make sure that the animal does not accidentally swallow or lick it off. If a large number of drops enter the dog's stomach, it will cause severe vomiting and diarrhea. It is advisable to contact a veterinarian immediately. But if this is not possible, you need to give the dog a lot of water with activated charcoal. Some dogs (especially small breeds) may exhibit symptoms of an allergic reaction after being exposed to a dog that has just been treated. It is recommended to treat the animal at night, after an evening walk.

Limitations and side effects

Given the minor toxicity of the drug, it should not be used for puppies under 7 weeks of age, as well as dogs weighing less than 2 kg. The prohibition on using Advantix without consulting a veterinarian applies to:

• on pregnant and lactating females;
• elderly animals;
• weakened pets.

In the first three days after using the insecticide, you should avoid bathing and getting liquid (rain, etc.) on your pet’s skin.

Complications after using Advantix are rare, however, with increased sensitivity to the components, negative manifestations are possible:

• redness and irritation of the skin;
• chemical burns (with an excessive amount of the drug on the skin);
• increased excitability;
• vomiting or diarrhea.

If symptoms do not go away within 1-2 days, you should contact your veterinarian. If the medicine enters the body, the pet requires immediate veterinary assistance from a specialist.

Methods for increasing the effectiveness of flea control
