There was studied an effectiveness of the new anthelmintic drug Supramil® tablets for prevention of dirofilariasis in dogs. With a monthly treatment of dogs free from larvae of Dirofilaria spp. with the drug Supramil® tablets, used at dose of 0.5 mg / kg on a body weight according to milbemycin oxime, in a region unfavorable for dirofilariasis, the preventive effectiveness of the drug was 100 %.
Monthly control of microfilariaemia, carried out before each drug treatment, showed an absence of larvae of Dirofilaria spp. in peripheral blood of 100% of experimental animals, which indicates not only high preventive efficacy of the drug, but also its prolonged microfilaricidal action and a possibility to use it for prevention of dirofilariasis with an interval of 28…35 days.
Thus, Supramil® tablets are highly effective to prevent dirofilariasis in disadvantaged regions.
The effectiveness of a new anthelmintic drug for dogs and cats Supramil® tablets was studied. Therapeutic efficacy of the drug Supramil® tablets after a single application of spontaneously infested intestinal nematodes and / or cestodes to dogs and puppies at a dose of 2.5 mg / kg for R-praziquantel and 0.5 mg / kg for milbemycin oxime was 100%. Therapeutic efficacy of the drug Supramil® tablets after a single application of spontaneously infested intestinal nematodes and / or cestodes to cats and kittens at a dose of 2.5 mg / kg for R-praziquantel and 2.0 mg / kg for milbemycin oxime was 100%. Thus, Supramil® tablets are a highly effective treatment for the most common intestinal helminthiases of dogs and cats.
