Bars Forte Drops for cats against fleas and ticks, 3 pipettes fipronil

Fleas parasitize both stray animals and pets that do not have access to the street and are infected with ectoparasites brought on the owner’s clothes or shoes. Biting fleas not only cause painfully itchy skin, but also weaken the immune system, as well as increase the likelihood of contracting various infectious diseases or intestinal parasites. Therefore, it is necessary to select a drug that effectively fights ectoparasites without harming the cat’s health. One such effective and safe remedy is Bars Forte drops.

Compound

The active ingredients of Bars Forte drops are:

• synthetic fipronil in an amount of 5%, which acts on the neuromuscular endings of skin parasites, first paralyzing them and then destroying them. After rubbing into the skin, it is absorbed and accumulates in the epidermis, sebaceous glands and hair follicles, upon contact with the paws or a bite with which the ectoparasites die;
• diflubenzuron 0.1% affects the production of chitin in fleas, depriving them of the possibility of normal development of molting and egg laying. It is this component that gives the drops a fairly long-lasting effect and makes it possible to use them for preventive purposes;
• citronella essential oil, which acts as a repellent;
• antiseptic components - glycerin and castor oil normalize the metabolic and regenerative processes of the skin and hair, promoting the formation of thick and healthy hair.

Drops against fleas and ticks Bars Forte saves you from many types of parasites

For your information! The Agrovetzashchita trademark produces Bras Forte drops in the form of prepackaged pipettes made of soft polymer plastic in dosages of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.8 ml, which are sealed in quantities of 3-4 pcs. in cardboard packaging.

Composition and pharmacological properties.

The drug contains fipronil, diflubenzuron - an insect growth regulator and excipients, including citronella essential oil. It has pronounced insectoacaricidal activity against larval and mature phases of development of fleas, lice, lice, ixodid and sarcoptic ticks, and also has a repellent effect.

After cutaneous application of the drug, fipronil and diflubenzuron, which are included in its composition, are practically not absorbed into the systemic bloodstream, accumulate in the epidermis, hair follicles and sebaceous glands of the animal’s body and have a long-term contact and intestinal insectoacaricidal effect.

The mechanism of action of fipronil is to disrupt the transmission of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and death of insects and ticks. The insect growth regulator disrupts the synthesis of chitin in parasites and thus breaks their life cycle.

Indications for use

Bars drops for cats against fleas and ticks: instructions

Bars Forte drops for cats are used for the treatment and prevention of entomosis (fleas, lice, lice), notoedrosis, sarcoptic mange and ixodid ticks. The drug effectively destroys both larval and mature individuals and has a therapeutic effect on infections caused by parasites. The drops are included in the register of low-toxic, moderately hazardous substances for warm-blooded animals, which are safe with appropriate dosage and compliance with the rules of use. Treatment of dogs is allowed; the drug has a toxic effect on rabbits, food-producing animals and fish.

Indications for the use of drops are indicated in the attached instructions.

Efficiency

According to research results, the effectiveness of insecticide drops is 100%. The effect of the drug occurs within several hours after contact with the skin. After 24-48 hours, depending on the form of infection, no viable ectoparasites, as well as their eggs and larvae, were found on the test cats.

Efficiency and effect of the drug

The principle of action of Bars drops is the following processes that begin to occur after treating the animal with this drug:

1. After rubbing the product, it is absorbed into the skin, the main accumulation occurs in the hair follicles or sebaceous glands. In this case, the drug itself does not enter the pet’s blood.
2. At the moment when the parasites become active and begin to bite a cat or dog, the release of active substances begins, which gradually collects on the surface of the skin.
3. The poisonous substance enters the insect's body through the chitinous cover.
4. After poisoning with an insecticide, a malfunction occurs in the nervous system of the parasite, resulting in complete paralysis and the inability to feed, which leads to the death of the pest.

There are two varieties of these drops - Bars and Bars Forte. The second type is much more expensive, but owners of cats and dogs did not notice any fundamental differences in the effectiveness of the products and their effect on their pets.

However, they noted that the use of both drugs leads to a positive result, which consists of complete elimination of fleas and ticks without side effects.

Bars Forte for cats: instructions for use

Inspector drops for cats: instructions for use

The drug is applied once to the skin in a dosage of 1 measuring pipette per cat weighing 3-8 kg. There should be no wounds, scratches or damage at the treatment site. The drug is applied to one or several points of the pet’s body that are inaccessible for licking, for example, on the withers, between the shoulder blades and along the spine.

Note! If there are other pets in the house that are in close contact with the infected person, it is strongly recommended that they be treated as well.

The minimum therapeutic dosage of the drug for dogs weighing more than 2 kg is 0.18 ml per 1 kg of weight (the dosage contains 9 mg of fipronil and 0.18 mg of diflubenzuron), for cats 0.1 ml per 1 kg of weight (the dosage contains 5 mg of fipronil and 0 .1 mg diflubenzuron). Depending on the weight, physical condition and age of the pet, the volume of pipettes with the drug is selected.

If an embedded tick is found on the cat’s body, a drop of the drug is applied to the bite site and the body of the tick; after half an hour, the paralyzed bloodsucker should fall off. If after the expiration of the period the tick remains, it is necessary to remove it using tweezers, carefully twisting it clockwise, trying not to tear the head away from the body.

How to apply flea and tick medication to a cat's withers

The protective effect of the drug lasts for 4 weeks against ticks and 12 weeks against fleas. Repeat treatment is allowed no less than 4 weeks after the initial one. Failure to comply with the terms of treatment of the cat can cause a decrease in efficiency and infection with ectoparasites. If timely treatment is missed, it is recommended to carry out the procedure at the same dosage.

For your information! After applying the drops, you should not allow the cat to lick itself or other pets for 24 hours. To prevent others from licking your pet, the best option is to keep pets away from each other, and an orthopedic collar will not allow you to try the drug yourself.

It is strongly recommended not to bathe the cat and limit its free walking for several days, especially in rainy weather, since moisture can wash away the drug that has not yet been completely absorbed.

To avoid re-infestation, it is strongly recommended that cat bedding be washed in hot water, dried thoroughly and treated with an insecticidal spray according to the instructions.

Feedback from cat owners

Be attentive to your pets, take care to protect them from attacks by parasitic insects immediately upon the onset of the warm season. This will save cats from restless tenants and protect them from diseases they carry. After all, we are responsible for those we tame.

Fleas are ectoparasites that plague not only stray but also domestic animals. They cause painful itching in pets, weaken the immune system, and spread dangerous infectious diseases and worm eggs. Therefore, it is important to choose a drug to get rid of fleas that will cope with the “scourge” as quickly as possible and will not harm the pet.

Name Quantity and volume per package Composition

The listed remedies are effective not only against fleas, but also against lice-eaters, various types of ticks, and lice. Dropper pipettes are packaged in cardboard boxes with detailed instructions for use.

When applied cutaneously, fipronil accumulates in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands, practically not being absorbed into the blood. Penetrating into the body of a flea by contact or intestinal means, it disrupts the propagation of nerve impulses, which causes paralysis and subsequent death of the insect. Diflubenzuron, another insecticide in the composition, affects the formation of chitin in fleas, making the normal process of molting and oviposition impossible.

As you can see, the effectiveness of Bars Forte drops for cats against fleas and other ectoparasites is due to its well-thought-out composition. The same combination of active ingredients allows the drops to protect tailed pets from repeated invasions of ectoparasites for a long time.

Due to the low toxicity of the components (Bars is classified as a low-hazard substance), the drug is easily tolerated by cats of different ages and does not cause poisoning or irritation.

Since Bars brand drugs have been on the market for quite a long time and have repeatedly confirmed their high effectiveness, many people who have been faced with the issue of removing fleas and ticks from their pets have already tried them. Now they are ready to share their experience of using such an antiparasitic agent, some opinions about it are given below:

1. Nikolay: “Bars helped me a lot in ridding my cats of subcutaneous mites; before that I used other drugs, including more expensive ones, but there was no result. At first I was afraid to use it, so first I applied a small amount to all cats and looked at the reaction; within 24 hours no allergies or side effects appeared. After that, I carried out a full treatment in accordance with the instructions, my pets tolerated it quite well.”
2. Marina: “I heard a lot of negative reviews, but after the first use Bars showed very good results. I recommended it to my neighbor; her cats also tolerated the treatment process well. A total of seven cats were treated and none had an allergic reaction. But it is necessary to take into account that animals are treated with insecticides, and there is always a certain risk of getting a bunch of side effects if the cat has an individual intolerance. The main thing is to isolate the animals from each other, since they can lick the poison from each other if they continue to be in active contact.”
3. Alexander: “I treat Spitz, Chow Chow and German Shepherd with Bars, it has the same positive effect on everyone. Before this, I couldn’t find a suitable remedy for a long time: I had an acute allergy to some, and after using others I had to administer an antidote. These drops were recommended by a neighbor who often goes hunting with his dogs, from where they bring all sorts of parasites. By the way, the price of Bars is much lower than that of those products that I chose on my own and which in the end did not work. Therefore, as they say, all that glitters is not gold.”
4. Ivan: “At first I used other means, but they failed too often and I began to find parasites in the dog even after treatment, so I gradually switched to Bars. I am very pleased that, unlike most other drip products, it does not have the typical chemical smell. For a very long time there were no complaints about this drug, but recently I noticed that it has become ineffective against ticks; perhaps these parasites have adapted to the product, since it still effectively exterminates fleas. Apparently, in the near future we will have to again select a new drug that will protect against all types of parasites.”

I live in my own house. Cats naturally walk outside, which means they communicate with other animals, perhaps even stray ones. Therefore, once every 2 months, without waiting for fleas, I give them Bars drops. I didn’t notice any unpleasant consequences for cats. And, most importantly, fleas do not bother them. Lyudmila

I found a little red kitten on the street and took it home. I immediately decided to treat him for fleas. I didn’t know the exact age; it was difficult to find suitable drops. I chose Bars Forte for kittens, I was satisfied with the drug: no side effects, the pipettes were convenient to use, the fleas disappeared immediately. I recommend it to everyone. Zhanna

I am breeding British dogs. And although the animals are mostly at home, I treat them with flea drops prophylactically. I tried a lot of medications, and as a result I settled on Bars drops - they are effective, convenient and last a long time. Yulia

The problem of fleas should not be neglected, because they can cause significant harm to the animal. To make the procedure for getting rid of parasites painless for both owners and pets, it is better to choose a reliable and effective remedy, such as Bars drops.

I received a kitten with a lot of fleas - it was due to being born in the yard. It was a pity to look at the poor fellow; he was constantly biting insects and scratching himself sore. Anti-parasitic shampoo did not help, there were fewer fleas, but they were still there. Drops on the withers became my salvation. The effect was immediate: the released cat suddenly jumped in place with an astonished look, spun around and began to run around the apartment. Apparently, the guests sensed imminent death and began to fuss. After two days, everything stopped: the kitten stopped itching, began to eat better, and the wounds gradually healed. But for a long time I was wary of my attempts to smear something on him - suddenly someone would start jumping on him again.

If you find a mite, apply a drop to the insect and where it attaches to the skin. After 20–30 minutes, the tick will die and fall off. If this does not happen, remove it with tweezers.

Advice! Be careful that the cat does not lick the kitten after it has been treated. This may lead to poisoning.

Treating an animal with several drugs at once is not allowed. Repeated application of drops is carried out according to indications or for preventive purposes, but not more than once a month.

Dosage

The required amount of product depends on the weight of the pet. Since the content of poisons in the drugs is different, the dose will also be different.

Leopard for cats:

• weight up to 1 kg - 0.3 ml (10 drops),
• from 1 to 3 kg - 0.6 ml 20 drops),
• over 3 kg - 1.0 ml (1 pipette).

Bars Forte for cats:

• weight up to 1 kg - 0.5 ml (1 pipette),
• over 1 kg - 1.0 ml (1 pipette).

Pay attention to the volume of the pipette; the same product is produced in different dosages.

Bars Forte for kittens is sold in droppers of 0.5 ml, which is enough for an animal weighing up to 1 kg. Exceeding the dosage is dangerous for the pet.

Reviews

Buyers note the effectiveness and relatively low price of the drug - about 300 rubles per package (3 pipettes of 0.5 ml). They leave positive reviews about the drops, claiming that the product reliably protects pets from fleas and ticks. Here are some of them:

Anna: “The dog picked up fleas from the street and infected our two Persians. The pet store offered Bars Forte. It killed the parasites quickly.”

Stepan: “The cat at the dacha disappeared for 2 days. She returned - her ears and stomach were covered in ticks. It's impossible to get them out. He dug on the already swollen parasites with “Barsom”. After half an hour, some of the ticks fell off on their own. The rest were easily pulled out with tweezers. Now we use Bars Forte every season.

Lida: “We picked up a cat on the street. In addition to fleas, the vet found small ticks (we thought she had lichen). When asked to recommend an effective and inexpensive drug, he named “Bars Forte”. After using the drops, the fleas quickly disappeared. The irritation also went away. This means that the ticks died. It’s convenient that you don’t need to use different remedies against each parasite.”

“Bars Forte” effectively protects the cat while outdoors. The drops will repel ticks, fleas and other arthropod parasites. If insects have already settled on animals, the product will kill larvae and adults.
