Antiparasites

Farantel Equinos 1000 KG®

Internal Antiparasite for equines - oral use

Farantel Equinos 1000 KG®

It is a vermicide, larvicide and ovicide in gastrointestinal and pulmonary parasitosis.
Due its ovicide effect it prevents contamination from pastures and stables, which is a key factor in getting rid of the infection.
Fenbendazole is a benzimidazole methylcarbonate of great anthelminthic capacity. Its action mechanism is through union to the tubulin protein and in this way it inhibits the polymerization of same to form microtubules. These form part of the cytoskeleton and, besides, participatein the transport of nutrients and the elimination of metabolites.
Trichlorfon is an organophosphate compound which confers a larvicide and ovicide function to the antiparasite formula by generating the irreversible inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase which leads to the blockade of the hydrolysis of acetylcholine in sites of cholinergic transmission. Due to the hepatic metabolism which this antiparasite has, a liver protector, Methionine is included. This works by providing methyl and sulphur to form choline and by eliminating certain toxic compounds in the organism.

Indications for Use

This antiparasite acts on nematodes, cestodes and trematodes in general, but it is excellent for combating parasitosis caused by Ascaris, Parascaris, Strongylus vulgaris and edentatus, Strongyloides westeri, Habronema and Triodontotus.

Univerm®

Univerm®

Ivermectin is a macrocyclic lactone derivative with broad and potent antiparasitic activity against nematodes. It acts by inhibiting nerve impulses. Its unique mode of action involves glutamate-gated chloride ion channels. Ivermectin binds selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels found in invertebrate muscle and nerve cells. This leads to an increase in cell membrane permeability to chloride ions, with hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cell, resulting in paralysis and death of the affected parasites. Complexes of this class can also interact with other ligand-gated chloride channels, such as those opened by the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyl acid (GABA). The safety margin for complexes of this class is due to the fact that mammals do not have chloride channels opened by glutamate.
Praziquantel is a pyrazinoisoquinoline that exerts its anthelmintic activity against many species of cestodes and trematodes. It acts primarily by impairing the motility and function of cestode larvae. Its mode of action includes altering neuromuscular coordination, also influencing the permeability of the worm's integument, leading to excessive loss of calcium and glucose. This induces spasmodic paralysis of the parasite's musculature.
