ECTHOL 5
description
Long acting antiparasitic for external use in dogs and environments with presence of dogs and cats.
presentation
70 and 120 mL bottles.
action
Antiparasitic against fleas, ticks and lice for external use. Adulticide and larvicide.
Chlorpyrifos: an organophosphate insecticide that acts by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, thus maintaining the acetylcholine action, a neurotransmitter in charge of facilitating the neuronal and neuromuscular communication. The sustained action of acetylcholine produces a spastic paralysis in the susceptible parasite.
Cypermethrin: it behaves as a neurotoxin, causing hyperexcitability followed by paralysis in sensitive parasites. It interacts with the GABA system and the acetylcholine-gated ion channels, inhibiting the acetylcholine. This mechanism enhances the action when associated with organophosphates.
