Why use Profender for Cats, 1 Dose?
Profender for Cats is the only topically applied, broad-spectrum feline dewormer that controls and treats tapeworm, roundworm, and hookworm infections. It's a one-dose medication for cats and kittens who are a minimum of 8 weeks old and weigh at least 2.2 pounds. It helps cats with mixed parasite infections (or those who are at risk of getting one) caused by the following roundworm and tapeworm species: Nematode roundworms Mature adult, immature adult, and L4 Toxocara cati Mature adult, immature adult, and L4 Toxascaris leonina Mature adult, immature adult, and L4 Ancylostoma tubaeforme Cestode tapeworms Adult Dipylidium caninum Adult Taenia taeniaeformis Adult Echinococcus multilocularis
How does Profender for Cats, 1 Dose work?
Hair follicles transport Profender to the skin. From there, it enters the bloodstream and travels to the intestines, where it begins to control and treat infections, such as hookworms, roundworms, and tapeworms. Taenia taeniaeformis, Echinococcus multilocularis, and Dipylidium caninum are all tapeworms that can be treated with praziquantel, which is made from pyrazine isoquinoline. The parasite's surface alters the CA++ permeability of the parasite membranes, allowing praziquantel to be readily absorbed. This causes serious integument damage, spasm, paralysis, metabolic disturbance, and death of the parasite. Emodepside is a semi-synthetic depsipeptide chemical that kills roundworms and hookworms. Ancylostoma tubaeforme, Toxascaris leonina, and Toxocara cati are all susceptible to it. This component operates by triggering secretin receptor presynaptic receptors in the neuromuscular junction, causing parasite paralysis and death.
