A liquid containing insecticide (means, to destroy arthropod pests) permethrin, antiseptic, detergent (decontamination) sterogenol (cetylpyridinium-bromide), castor oil, alcohol and water.
Pharmacological effect. Permethrin belongs to a group of natural pyrethrin contained in plants of the asteraceae (Compositae), and with strong insecticide (aimed at the destruction of arthropod pests, which include lice) activity.
Cetylpyridinium-bromide has surface antiseptic (disinfecting) activity and strengthens the insecticidal action permethrin.
Indications to application. Is applied as an effective antipedikuleznoe (which destroys the lice) means for lice (lousiness) nails of the head and pubic lice.
Way of application and dosage. Hair abundantly moisturize the product with a cotton swab and rubbing it into the hair roots. Usually for one person consumes from 10 to 60 ml of the product depending on the density and length hair. After processing the head cover kerchief, and after 40 minutes the drug, wash with warm running water and soap or shampoo. After washing hair combed out frequent ridge to remove dead insects.
A side effect. In rare cases, there may be allergic skin reactions.
Contraindications. Hypersensitivity to the drug.

Storage conditions. List B. In a place protected from light.
The article says that, as it was established, containing permethrin protivobloshinnye preparations with a mark "only for dogs" can be toxic to cats. Further on the basis of this fact, the authors make the erroneous conclusion that it is permethrin in applied for dogs doses can allegedly be dangerous for cats, the article describes the symptoms of poisoning of animals. With the same success can be argued that since containing water moonshine-pervach toxic, so water can be dangerous for the health ... it's just like in the old joke.
Indeed, preparations with a mark "only for dogs" can be toxic to cats and other small animals, but not because of permethrin or other pyrethroids. In these drugs ("only for dogs") to enhance the effectiveness together with safe permethrin added highly toxic ordinary phosphorganic compounds, insecticides, which may cause these poisonings, as used in these doses are calculated on the animal weighing an average of 20 kg. That is why they have the marking "only for the dogs".
Unfortunately the authors of the article didn't even bother to explore the full composition of used products and look in the directory toxicity of its constituent components, as well as the symptoms of poisoning them.
The fact that the pyrethroid second generation (derivative permetrinovoy acid) non-toxic for warm-blooded animals, environmentally safe, and operate for a long period of time, etc.BUT do not have a "knock-down" effect, ie kill the insects of the far not at once. So, the cockroach when receiving a lethal dose of permethrin another 1-2 hours!!!) Can safely run, then the same amount of time in convulsions and only then dies. That is why in most of the funds on the basis of permethrin add the usual cheap organofluoric insecticides (dichlorvos, hlorofos, diazenon, etc.), Which kill ectoparasites at once, but very toxic (it's enough to note that belong to this group and combat poisonous substances) and referred to in article signs of poisoning are most pronounced exactly for these substances. In the same expensive means of specially for small animals, instead of organophosphorus insecticides add other pyrethroids (derivative hrizantemovoy acid), which is along with all the benefits have also "knock-down" effect. However, these drugs because of the high prices while we have not received wide dissemination of. Besides, they are practically not used for dogs. There is another reason that the funds "only for dogs" intentionally added phosphorganic compounds, insecticides, in particular, dichlorvos. These drugs are used in veterinary practice for the prevention and treatment of widespread in dogs exist.
It should be noted that it is permethrin and other pyrethroids are the main active principle in many protivobloshinyh means specifically designed for small animals, including cats. Another thing that the content of the active substance in many times below, than in the preparations for the dogs. Of course, such special preparations for the specific animal of the most preferable also for the reason that they are optimally balanced and all the other included in the preparation components, which can often be more toxic to the animal than the main active substance. Modern special preparations and take into account the peculiarities of the diseases of particular animals, because for each animal species has its own ectoparasites (for example, lice, not a flea, certain types of ticks, etc.), To which are added special preparations (for example, antibiotics avermectins, endotoxins some bacteria, herbal products, in particular, nicotine, anabasine and rianodin, etc.).
Unfortunately, so far the choice of such special means in our stores, to put it mildly, small, or they are often non-existent and so you have to buy similar dog means.
At that it should be noticed???
Choosing the means for his little pet carefully read the instructions and, especially, composition and this will help you make the right decision. The independence of the main active substance AVOID the use for cats, hamsters, guinea pigs and other small pets protivobloshinnye drugs:
with a mark "only for dogs" or larger animals
if the composition is organofluoric insecticides (normally have in their name, suffix, or end of the wcf, for example, dichlorvos)
In the extreme case, reduce the dosage of proportion to the weight of your pet, based on the calculation that the remedy for dogs calculated by a live weight of 20 kg. So, if your cat weighs 5 kg, it must be in four times (20 / 5 = 4) reduce the dosage. Excess dosage often cause allergies in small animals, and perhaps even in the most severe forms. So we must strictly observe the dosage!!!
For small animals suitable means of the moscow MOSCOW, which does NOT contain organophosphorus insecticides. This Anometrin-NS (a full analogue of the product Stomazan, Hungary), shampoo B and new high-efficiency aerosol PLUS.
Stomazan and Anometrin-NS composition vary only the diluent (the main volume component of both drugs). Stomazan as a diluent includes oil solvent, Anometrin-NS - pure kerosene. So Anometrin-NS is more advantageous than it is for small animals, although for dogs it doesn't matter.
More complicated is the protivobloshinnymi collars. Almost all of them as the MAIN active substance contain toxic phosphorganic compounds, insecticides, usually diazenon and dichlorvos. So, among the studied us on the shelves of moscow more than 60 collars of different manufacturers, only two of import (Welcome, England, $ 25 and Bayer, Germany, 20 $) and one national (MOSCOW, 1 $) is a purely pyrethroid and are suitable for cats and other small animals. Moreover, the company MOSCOW produces and special collars for cats, which are suitable for any other small animals.
