Description and Composition
The active ingredient of PRAC-TIC is pyriprole. Each ml contains 125 mg pyriprole as a colourless clear solution.
Properties
Pyriprole is an insecticide and acaricide. It acts by interacting with ligand-gated chloride channels, in particular those gated by the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), thereby blocking pre- and post-synaptic transfer of chloride ions across cell membranes. This results in uncontrolled activity of the central nervous system and death of fleas and ticks.
Parasites are killed through contact rather than by systemic exposure.
Following topical administration pyriprole is rapidly distributed in the hair coat of dogs within one day after application. It can be found in the hair coat throughout the treatment interval.
Indications
Treatment and prevention of flea infestation (Ctenocephalidescanis and C. felis) in dogs. Insecticidal efficacy duration against new infestations with fleas persists for a minimum of 4 weeks. PRAC-TIC can be used as part of a treatment strategy for the control of Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD).
Treatment and prevention of tick infestation (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Ixodes scapularis, Dermacentor reticulatus, Dermacentor variabilis, Amblyomma americanum) in dogs. PRAC-TIC has persistent acaricidal efficacy duration of 4 weeks against ticks.
It is important to apply the dose to an area where the dog cannot lick it off and to make sure that animals do not lick each other following treatment.
Following treatment, ticks will detach from the host within 24 to 48 hours after infestation; however, single ticks might remain on the animal. For this reason, a transmission of infectious diseases by ticks cannot be completely excluded.
