In this article I will talk about a drug like flea drops and leopard ticks. I will describe its composition, mechanism of action and instructions for use for cats and dogs. Consider what precautions must be taken when using, as well as contraindications and side effects. I will list the types of analogues and their price category.
Release form and composition of the drug
Drops are available in the form of polymer pipettes in the amount of three pieces.
Dosage form: solution for external use
The composition of the drug include: fipronil (10 mg / ml), diflubenzuron (1 mg / ml), dicarboximide (MGK-264) (1 mg / ml), and isopropyl alcohol as an auxiliary substance.
Indications for use and mechanism of action
Drops are suitable for the treatment of cats and dogs prone to the onset of fleas, eaters and ticks, and also have a therapeutic effect on scabies, ear and subcutaneous ticks, acariasis.
The main active component of the drops - fipronil - on contact with the skin, is absorbed into the sebaceous glands, but is not absorbed into the blood and does not harm the internal environment of the animal.
Leopard drops are used once by drip on dry, intact skin.
When the parasite begins to drink blood, the chemical composition of the drug is absorbed into its body through the top cover, blocks the work of the nervous system, leads to paralysis and death. Diflubenzuron violates the reproductive function of skin parasites, which significantly reduces their reproduction and future population.
Instructions for use
Cats weighing a kilogram or less need to apply 10 drops to the skin along the spine, then - for each kilogram it is necessary to increase the number of drops by 10 (2 kilograms - 20 drops, etc.).
To dogs, weighing up to three kilograms, it is necessary to put 20 drops, over - the whole pipette. And for large rocks - 2-3 pipettes from 20 kilograms.
Instructions for use Drop Leopard
The rules for using the medicine are the following: it is necessary to evenly distribute the drug along the withers and spine, so that it gets on the skin surface (for this you need to push the wool when applied).
And for the most effective result, it is recommended not to wash the pet for three days before and three days after application (also do not touch for several days after treatment).

Side effects and complications in the application of leopard drops in accordance with the instructions, as a rule, are not observed
At the first signs of incompatibility of the organism with the medicine, it is necessary to rinse the skin with water, and then prescribe antiallergic drugs or means to relieve symptoms.

Impact mechanism
The active ingredient of the spray and insectoacaricidal drops - fipronil has a destructive effect on the nervous system of parasites, preventing the transmission of nerve impulses, causing muscle tremors, paralysis, and then death of ticks and insects.

Fipronil, which is the main active ingredient, destroys the nervous system of parasites.
In contact with the animal's skin, Bars Forte preparations are concentrated in the subcutaneous fat layer, hair follicles do not penetrate into the circulatory system. The components carried to the surface through the sweat glands and follicles are in contact with the parasites, exerting an enteric-insecticacaricidal effect on them.

Reviews breeders dogs
Many breeders treat Leopard forte with their dogs.
Igor, Doberman breeder. For a long time, due to cheapness and distrust of domestic producers, I did not use either spray or drops.
Peter, breeder of giant schnauzers. Spray Bars Forte not using. Wool gum is difficult to handle. But pleased with the drops. I apply both for treatment and for prophylaxis. Pincers are sprinkled themselves, just brush them. Fleas disappear and are not returned when processing tools.
Irina, chow chow breeder. Sprays and drops are torment for us. I try to use only for medicinal purposes. Besides, Bars Forte has an unpleasant smell. But ear drops helped more than once.
Efficacy and effect of the drug
The principle of action of Leopard drops consists in the following processes that begin to occur after the animal is treated with this drug:
After rubbing means, it is absorbed into the skin, the main accumulation occurs in the hair follicles or sebaceous glands. In this case, the drug itself does not enter the blood of the pet.
At the moment when the parasites are active and begin to bite a cat or a dog, the release of the active substance begins, which gradually collects on the surface of the skin.
The toxic substance enters the body of the insect through chitinous cover.
After insecticide poisoning, the parasite fails in the nervous system, resulting in complete paralysis and inability to feed, leading to the death of the pest.
There are two types of data drops - Leopard and Leopard Forte. The second type is much more expensive, but the owners of cats and dogs did not notice fundamental differences in the effectiveness of the means and their effects on pets.
However, they noted that the use of both drugs leads to a positive result, which consists in completely getting rid of fleas and ticks without any side effects.
Prescription drug
Drops "Bars" - a whole line of modern antiparasitic agents intended for the treatment of entomosis, notohedrosis, sarcoptosis, otodektoza, cheyletielleza, as well as for ridding the dog of ixodic ticks. In addition, the drug has a pronounced preventive effect and prevents re-infection of the animal with parasites during a certain time period:
- Leopard eye drops - a highly effective agent used in the prevention and treatment of eye diseases in dogs,
- Bars drops from fleas and ticks - a drug prescribed to a four-legged pet in the treatment and prevention of arachno-entomosis,
- “Bars” ear drops are a modern insecticide-acaricide agent intended for the prevention and symptomatic treatment of otodecosis, or ear scabies.
Particularly noteworthy are the Bars drops from fleas and ticks, which are prescribed to dogs from eight weeks of age and are used for the prevention or treatment of entomoses, including louse, flea and valeeda, as well as for the treatment of sarcoptosis and otodecosis, notohedrosis and cheylethiosis. The remedy shows high effectiveness in lesions of a dog with ticks.
The action of the anti-drop drops is based on the following auxiliary components and active substances:
- fipronil - in the amount of 50 mg / ml,
- dicarboximide (MGK-264) - in the amount of 5 mg / ml,
- Diflubenzuron - in the amount of 1 mg / ml.
The mechanism of action of the active substance fipronil in the composition of the veterinary drug is effective blocking of GABA-dependent receptors in various ectoparasites. Also, this tool violates the transmission of nerve impulses, quickly causing paralysis and death of ectoparasites.
It is interesting! The national developer organization LLC NEC Agrovetzashchita has launched the production of several forms of Bars drops at once, but the younger generation has significant differences from the modern Bars Forte product, including the concentration of insecticides affecting the parasites.
Diflubenzuron inhibits the synthesis of chitin in ectoparasites, and also disrupts molting and egg-laying processes, which minimizes the hatchability of the larvae from the eggs laid by the parasite and causes the cessation of the growth of their population. Active dicarboximide is a synergist and is used with insecticidal compounds in order to increase the effectiveness of their effects. The component contributes to the complete cessation of the microsomal insecticide detoxification, significantly increasing its level of toxicity to ectoparasites.

Since the Bars brand products have been on the market for quite a long time and have repeatedly proved their high efficiency, many people have already tried them, in front of which there was a question of removing fleas and ticks from their pets.
Now they are ready to share their experience of using such an antiparasitic agent, some opinions about it are given below:
At first I was afraid to use it, so for the beginning I applied a small amount to all the cats and looked at the reaction; during the day neither allergy nor side effects were manifested. After that, I already carried out a full-fledged processing in accordance with the instructions; my pets transferred it quite normally. ”
Marina: “I heard a lot of negative reviews, but after the first use the Leopard showed very good results. She advised him to her neighbor, her cats also tolerated the treatment process. In total, seven cats were treated and none had an allergic reaction.
But it is necessary to take into account that the treatment of animals with insecticides takes place, and it is always a certain risk to get a bunch of side effects if the cat has an individual intolerance. The main thing is to isolate animals from each other, since they can lick poison from each other if they continue to actively contact. ”
These drops were advised by a neighbor who often goes hunting with dogs, from where they bring all sorts of parasites. By the way, the price of Barca is significantly lower than those of the tools that I chose on my own and which did not fit in the end. Therefore, as they say, not all is gold that glitters. ”
Ivan: “At first I used other means, but they too often failed and I began to find parasites in the dog even after treatment, so they gradually switched to Bars. Very pleased that, unlike most other drip drugs, it lacks the typical chemical smell.
For a long time there were no complaints about this drug, but recently noticed that it has become ineffective against ticks, perhaps these parasites have adapted to the tool, since it still qualitatively exterminates fleas. Apparently, in the near future, we will again have to select a new drug that will protect against all types of parasites. ”
