What is Biocanina Milbetel Vermifuge Cat used for?
Biocanina Milbetel Cat Wormer is an anti-parasite treatment specially designed to effectively control nematodes (roundworms) and cestodes (tapeworms) in cats. This powerful dewormer targets both immature and adult worm infestations, offering complete protection for your feline companion. Among cestodes, it eliminates parasites such as Echinococcus multilocularis, Dipylidium caninum and Taenia spp. Among nematodes, it is effective against Ancylostoma tubaeforme and Toxocara cati.
One of the main components of Biocanina Milbetel is milbemycin oxime, a member of the macrocyclic lactone group. This active ingredient, produced by fermentation of Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. aureolacrimosus, is recognized for its efficacy against mites, larval and adult stages of nematodes, and larvae of Dirofilaria immitis. Milbemycin oxime acts by increasing membrane permeability to chloride ions via glutamate-dependent chloride channels, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuromuscular membrane, flaccid paralysis and parasite death.
Praziquantel, an acetylated pyrazino-isoquinoline derivative, completes this anti-parasite formula. This compound alters membrane permeability to calcium in parasites, resulting in massive Ca2+ influx, rapid muscle contractions and membrane depolarization. This action causes rapid vacuolization of the parasites' integumentary syncytium, facilitating their elimination in the gastrointestinal tract or direct death.
By using Biocanina Milbetel, you offer your cat optimum protection against parasitic infestations. This dewormer is particularly useful for treating mixed flatworm and roundworm infestations, ensuring impeccable intestinal health for your feline.
Thanks to its targeted action and powerful ingredients, Biocanina Milbetel helps prevent health complications linked to parasitic infestations. By effectively eliminating parasites, it protects your cat from unpleasant symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy, often associated with these infestations.
In conclusion, Biocanina Milbetel Vermifuge Cat is a trusted solution for keeping your cat healthy and parasite-free. This product combines the power of milbemycin oxime and praziquantel to offer complete protection against nematodes and cestodes. Thanks to its advanced formulation, it guarantees maximum efficacy and optimum well-being for your four-legged friend. We recommend that you use Biocanina Milbetel in conjunction with other cat health care products to ensure comprehensive, long-lasting protection.
