Pharmacological properties of Praktik drops for dogs
Piriprol, which is part of the drug, has a pronounced contact insectoacaricidal effect against the preimaginal and imaginal phases of development of insects parasitizing on dogs. Active against fleas (Ctenocephalides canis), lice (Linognathus setosus) and lice (Trichodectes canis), as well as ixodes ticks - Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Dermacentor reticulatus, Ixodes scapularis, Dermacentor variabilis, Amblyomma americanum. The mechanism of action of piriprole is to block GABA-dependent (GABA - gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors of parasites, disrupting the transmission of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and death of ectoparasites. When applied to the skin, the drug is not absorbed, but gradually, over 24 hours, is distributed over the surface of the body and, reserved in the sebaceous glands, has a long-term insecticidal and acaricidal effect in places where ectoparasites are localized. In terms of the degree of impact on the body of warm-blooded animals, the drug is classified as a moderately dangerous substance; in recommended doses it does not have skin irritation, resorptive toxic, embryotoxic or teratogenic effects. The drug is toxic to bees, as well as fish and other aquatic organisms.

Doses and method of use Praktik drops for dogs
The drug is administered to animals once by drip application to dry, intact skin. The pipette is taken out of the package and placed vertically with the spout facing up. Tap the narrow part of the pipette so that the contents remain in the main part. Break off the tip of the easily broken off tip along the dotted line. In dogs, the fur is spread between the shoulder blades at the base of the neck and then, pressing the pipette, the solution is applied to the skin in places inaccessible to licking. When treating large animals, the contents of the pipettes are applied to the skin at 2–3 points along the back line. The minimum therapeutic dose of the drug is 0.1 ml per 1 kg of animal weight, which corresponds to 12.5 mg of pyriprole per 1 kg of animal weight. The death of insects parasitizing the animal occurs within 24 hours after treatment. The protective effect of the drug after a single treatment of the animal lasts for 4 weeks. To destroy ectoparasites, dogs are treated once. Repeated treatments of animals are carried out according to entomological indications, but not more than once a month. When treating allergic dermatitis caused by insects, it is advisable to use the drug in combination with drugs for pathogenetic and symptomatic therapy.
