PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Prazicidk tablets belong to combined anthelmintic drugs.
Praziquantel and pyrantel pamoate, which are part of the drug, provide its wide spectrum of anthelmintic action on all phases of development of round and tapeworms parasitizing in dogs and cats, including Toxocara canis, Toxosaga mistax, Toxascaris leonina, Uncinaria stenocephala, Trichuris Ancylostoma caninum, Echinococcus granulosus, Alveococus multilocularis, Mesocestoides lineatus, Dipylidium caninum, Diphyllobotrium latum, Multiceps multiceps.
The mechanism of action of praziquantel is associated with blocking neuromuscular conduction in helminths. The mechanism of action of pyrantel pamoate is to block neuromuscular transmission, impair the permeability of cell membranes and inhibition of cholinesterase, which leads to paralysis and death of helminths.
When administered orally, praziquantel is well absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, reaching a maximum plasma concentration in 1-4 hours, and is distributed in the organs and tissues of the animal; excreted from the body mainly in the urine (up to 80%) within 24 hours. Pirantel pamoat is poorly absorbed, which ensures its prolonged action on helminths in the intestines; is excreted from the body mainly unchanged with feces (93%).
