Pharmacological Properties:
BARS® flea and tick drops belong to combined insectoacaricidal preparations.
The product is effective against:
-
fleas
-
lice
-
biting lice
-
cheyletiella mites
-
ixodid ticks
-
sarcoptoid mites
in both larval and mature stages of development in dogs and cats.
The mechanism of action of fipronil involves blocking GABA-dependent receptors in ectoparasites, disrupting nerve impulse transmission, which causes paralysis and death of parasites.
Diflubenzuron inhibits chitin synthesis in parasites, disrupting larval molting, egg laying, and egg hatching, leading to interruption of the parasite population cycle.
Dicarboximide acts as a synergist and enhances the activity of insecticides by inhibiting microsomal detoxification in parasites, thereby increasing toxicity to parasites.
After topical application, the active substances distribute evenly over the skin surface without entering systemic circulation. They accumulate in the epidermis, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands, providing long-lasting insectoacaricidal protection.
