    • Ivermectin – produces butyric acid in the pet’s body. It is absolutely safe for the life of the cat, but has a fatal effect on parasites. The acid quickly disrupts the functioning of nerve impulses and causes the infection to become paralyzed.
    • Vitamin E - helps the rapid absorption of the main active component. It also has a general beneficial effect on the general condition of the pet.

    The drug contains the substance Ivermectin and vitamin E.

    How does Ivermec work?

    The composition of the produced forms of Ivermec includes ivermectin, which acts against sarcoptic and demodex mites and their larvae, which cause skin diseases.

    Ivermectin interrupts the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles, which paralyzes and kills ectoparasites and helminths.

    Ivermec is effective against otodectosis in cats

    Ivermectin, included in external forms, is practically unable to penetrate the systemic bloodstream. It accumulates in the outer layer of the skin - the epidermis, hair follicles and sebum-producing glands; destroys ticks while maintaining the effect for 5–7 days. Dosage forms of Ivermek for external use do not affect helminths.

    Lidocaine, included in the spray and gel, has an analgesic effect, reduces skin itching and reduces the likelihood of self-harm when scratching. Dexpanthenol accelerates the recovery of skin damage. The chlorhexidine contained in the spray acts against secondary microbial flora.

    Indications for use

    The antiparasitic effect on the cat’s body will last for 15 days. All this time, the active substance (ivermectin) actively affects the nervous system of the harmful “take root” and kills them. Even in small doses, the drug provides therapeutic assistance. In veterinary medicine, the product is used not only for cats, but also for dogs, pigs, chickens, small and cattle.

    The drug Ivermek is effective against parasitic diseases.

    • demodicosis;
    • hookworm;
    • otodectosis (ear mites);
    • mallophagosis;
    • Thelaziosis, etc.

    Advice! The presence of parasites may not be immediately noticed. But there are several signs that make it worthwhile to immediately go to a specialist. The main ones are: loss of appetite, stool disorders, the appearance of blood in the feces, severe scratching of the ears, fever, lethargy, drowsiness.

    Application of Ivermek

    The use of each form has its own characteristics.

    Using Ivermec spray:

    • Ivermec spray is applied to previously prepared skin lesions freed from crusts and inflammatory exudate, trying to ensure uniform coverage covering adjacent unaltered areas of 1–2 cm in length;
    • the dose of the medication used should not exceed 0.2 mg/kg of the cat’s body weight; dosing of the product is provided by a spray nozzle, one click on which sprays 0.125 ml of spray. In other words, in order to prevent an overdose, the number of “allowed” presses on the spray nozzle must be calculated in advance, and in no case should they be exceeded when performing treatment;
    • in the presence of lesions located on the eyelids and on the nose, the spray is applied with fingers protected by gloves, using light and rubbing movements;
    • The spray is sprayed from a distance of 10–20 cm, holding the aerosol torch vertically;
    • the treatment is carried out by first putting on medical gloves on yourself and a protective collar that prevents licking of the product on the cat;
    • It is permissible to spray an aerosol indoors only with very good ventilation; it is better to do this outside the house. Remove existing aquariums or cages with birds from the room or close them to avoid spray contact with their inhabitants;
    • for lesions of notoedrosis, sarcoptic mange and demodicosis, the drug is used 2-4 times every 3-5 days. If the affected area is large, then in order not to cause an overdose of Ivermek, first treat only one half of the body, and then, after a day, the remaining part.
    • To treat otodectosis, the skin of the inner surfaces of the ears is treated twice, having previously cleaned them of wax and inflammatory exudate. Usually 4 clicks on the aerosol nozzle are enough. The interval between treatments is 3–5 days.

    • the gel is applied in the direction from the edges of the lesion to the middle, gently rubbed into the skin;
    • for demodicosis, sarcoptic mange and notoedrosis, the gel is applied 2–4 times at intervals of 5–7 days, the total number of treatments should not exceed 6 times. For large affected areas, in order to avoid an overdose of the product, the drug is applied fractionally, first treating only half of the body, then the remaining part over the next 24 hours;
    • Before treatment, a protective collar is put on the cat, which is removed 15–20 minutes after the product has been absorbed;
    • for otodectosis, after cleaning, inject 0.5 ml of gel into each ear, after which, folding the ears, massage them, evenly distributing the drug. When otodectosis occurs, the ears are treated 1–2 times with an interval of 5–7 days.

    Reviews about the drug

    Veronica. I was terribly scared when I saw bloody feces in the cat’s litter box. The veterinarian diagnosed hookworm. It sounds unpleasant, of course, especially if there are small children in the family. But the doctor assured that we would quickly solve this problem. Ivermek in the form of injections was prescribed at the rate of 0.1 ml per 5 kg, although the instructions say otherwise. We independently gave 3 injections to the withers every 7 days and re-tested. The cat was absolutely healthy. Now we monitor our diet more carefully and will carry out disease prevention.

    Owners note the high effectiveness of the drug Ivermek.

    Nastya. Very pleased with Ivermek. We bought it in gel form when the cat started scratching her ears terribly. It came straight down to bloody patches on the skin. Friends recommended the drug and they were right. Just a few days and the itching stopped. The wounds, of course, did not go away so quickly, but after a couple of weeks our cat’s ears were fine.

    Kirill. Many animals suffer from ticks in May–June. Our Siamese also managed to catch these bastards. Ivermek spray saved the animal's life. The next day, after 4 applications, these creatures fell off the cat. Then we also used the drug for several more days. It’s inconvenient that the cat tried to lick itself, but overall everything is fine.

    • kittens are less than 12 weeks old;

    II. Pharmacological properties

    7. Ivermec spray is an antiparasitic drug. Ivermek-spray has a pronounced acaricidal activity against the preimaginal and imaginal phases of development of sarcoptic (Sarcoptes spp., Psoroptes spp., Otodectes cynotis, Notoedres cati), demodectic mites (Demodex canis) parasitizing dogs, cats, fur-bearing animals and rodents, and also Knemidocoptes spp., which parasitize ornamental birds.

    The mechanism of action of ivermectin, which is part of the drug, is its effect on the magnitude of the current of chlorine ions through the membranes of the nerve and muscle cells of the parasite. The main targets are glutamate-sensitive chloride channels, as well as gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors. A change in the current of chlorine ions disrupts the conduction of impulses, which leads to paralysis and death of the parasites.

    Panthenol, which is part of the drug, has a wound-healing effect, lidocaine has a local anesthetic effect with a pronounced antipruritic effect, and chlorhexidine bigluconate has an antibacterial effect. After external use of the drug, ivermectin, practically not absorbed into the systemic bloodstream, mainly accumulates in the epidermis, hair follicles and sebaceous glands of the animal’s body, providing an acaricidal effect for 5-7 days.

    In terms of the degree of impact on the body, Ivermec spray is classified as a low-hazard substance (hazard class 4 according to GOST 12.1.007-76), in recommended doses it does not have a skin-irritating or resorptive-toxic effect, and if it gets into the eyes it causes mild irritation. The drug is toxic to fish and bees.

    Analogs and approximate cost of Ivermek

    It is convenient to consider Ivermec-spray and Ivermec-gel as part of a group of products that have similar effects.

    Contraindications

    Feedback from cat owners

    I became acquainted with this drug about 5 years ago, when I picked up a cat on the street with scabies almost at the last stage. The drug is excellent, has a wide spectrum of action, kills many types of skin parasites and worms. And most importantly, cheap and cheerful. Already after the first injection, the results of treatment are noticeable. With advanced scabies, in about 10–20 days, the cat is almost completely overgrown... But you need to be very careful with this drug, as it is very toxic. If you make a mistake in the dosage, you can kill the animal.

I anointed it again after another two weeks. It was as if nothing had happened!

    Indications for use

    For therapeutic purposes and as a prophylaxis, the drug In Up is prescribed to cats, mainly for diseases such as entomosis caused by lice-eaters, common fleas and lice. The antiparasitic agent also has a pronounced effect when an animal is bitten by an ixodid tick, which poses a serious danger to the life of the pet. Experts recommend using drops for nematodes and cestodias, as well as for the purpose of prevention in the presence of risks of dirofilariasis infection. This especially applies to those regions where there is a climate favorable for the life of mosquitoes.

    Composition of the drug

    The medicinal and prophylactic drug In Up has a balanced composition, which includes 100 mg of praziquantel, 50 mg of fipronin and 4 mg of aversectin. The drug has the appearance of a colorless oily liquid of a transparent or yellowish tint. It contains benzyl alcohol and propylene glycol as excipients, which do not cause adverse reactions in the absence of individual intolerance.

    The drops contain everything necessary to influence parasites and inhibit their vital activity. Regardless of the effectiveness of the medicinal product, the manufacturer claims that when used correctly, it does not cause harm to the pet.

    Efficiency

    In Up complex is an excellent protection for cats against endoparasites and ectoparasites at any stage of development. The only drug from a domestic manufacturer with a wide spectrum of action that has an effect on microfilaria (larvae of very dangerous helminths that live in the blood vessels and heart of cats). The complex does not cause allergenic, toxic, or skin irritant effects on the pet. The drops can be used for both adult cats and two-month-old kittens for the purposes of prevention and therapeutic procedures.

    Recommendations for use and dosage

    In Up complex is used once. The drug is applied pointwise to previously washed and dried skin. It is important to ensure that there are no ulcerations or abrasions on the skin. The instructions for using the drops contain information that the drug is applied dropwise to the skin. The fur should be parted so that the antiparasitic agent gets directly onto the skin.

    Dosage recommendations depending on the type of disease:

    1. To destroy parasites, the treatment procedure should be carried out once, observing the following dosages: for 1-5 kg ​​of weight - 0.5-0.7 ml, for 6 kg or more - 1-1.5 ml.
    2. To combat various parasites, it is necessary to apply a few drops directly to the pest or to the place where it lives. If after half an hour the tick does not fall off on its own, it should be carefully removed from the skin.
    3. To carry out the planned comprehensive prophylaxis against parasites, the In Up complex should be used every 1.5 months at the indicated dosage.
    4. For preventive purposes of infection with microfilariae, the In Up complex is recommended to be used during all periods of the year, except winter. The first time it is necessary to resort to the help of the drug at the beginning of summer, before the start of the season of dirofilariasis carriers (midges, mosquitoes). The drug should be used in minimal dosages and once. Further, the antiparasitic agent should be used at least every 1.5 months. The last application is necessary in the autumn.

    Precautionary measures

    Despite the high effectiveness of the antiparasitic drug, it should be noted that many reviews from people who have used In Up indicate its toxicity. This is due to the fact that before starting to use the drops, not every pet owner reads the instructions to the end. It is important to follow the correct dosages, safe use techniques and generally accepted personal hygiene rules that are developed for the use of all antiparasitic drugs.

    Basic precautions:

    • It is not recommended to smoke or eat during the procedure. Otherwise, there is a high probability that some amount of the product will penetrate inside.
    • After the drops are distributed over the pet's skin, hands should be washed with soap.
    • On the day when the drug application procedure is carried out, the animal should not be bathed, allowed near children, or touched its fur.
    • After treating your pet's skin with antiparasitic drugs, they should not lick off the drops until the fur in the area of ​​application is completely dry.

    Contraindications

    In Up is not recommended for pregnant or lactating cats. The antiparasitic drug is absolutely contraindicated for kittens that have not reached 2 months of age. The complex should not be used by animals that are undergoing rehabilitation after suffering serious illnesses. Drops should not be used in combination with other drugs of similar action.

    The price of the drug is very affordable and does not exceed the cost of other antiparasitic drugs. The drug can be purchased at one of the city's pet stores or via the Internet. The price of the drug is acceptable for all cat owners, as numerous reviews show.

    Expert opinion about the drug

    Despite the fact that among cat owners, many do not accept this antiparasitic drug. Most veterinary experts recommend using it. This is due to the fact that when the product is applied topically to the skin, in most cases no side effects are observed. When using drugs with similar effects orally, there is a huge likelihood of unwanted reactions.
