Description

ATCvet QP52A, anti-trematodic, anti-nematode and anti-cestode veterinary drugs (QP52AA51 praziquantel, combinations)

A wide range of anthelmintic action on round and tapeworms is based on the pharmacological action of the components of Envair.

Pyrantel pamoate (embonate) is active against nematodes (roundworms), affects their cholinergic receptors, which leads to irreversible spastic paralysis of parasites. Nematodes are excreted from the body of animals by peristaltic bowel movements.

Praziquantel is active against cestodes (tapeworms), increases the permeability of membranes for calcium ions, causes an increase in muscle activity, which is replaced by muscle contraction and spastic paralysis, causes destruction of the outer cover of cestodes in adult forms. In some cases, tapeworms are completely digested by praziquantel and are not detected in the feces.
