pharmachologic effect

Drops "Bars forte" refer to combined insectoakaricidal drugs. They are highly effective in fighting fleas, lice and mites.

What is the way to achieve an excellent result during the application of the drug "Bars forte" for dogs? The instruction that comes with the tool gives an answer to this question.

Fipronil blocks GABA-dependent receptors of parasites, thus disrupting transmission of nerve impulses. This leads to paralysis and death of fleas, ticks, lice and so on.

Diflubenzuron inhibits the synthesis of chitin, as a result of which the moulting process in parasitic larvae is disturbed, which, in turn, prevents their further development and transformation into pupae. As a result, insects die already at the stage of nucleation, due to which their population is no longer replenished.

In this case, none of the active substances do not fall after application in the systemic bloodstream. They remain and accumulate on hair follicles, sebaceous glands and in the epidermis of the animal, providing it with reliable protection from insects.

Many owners of animals have been using it for several years and all this time they are satisfied with its speed of action, high efficiency and long-term preservation of the achieved result. This refers to cases of use of the drug both for curative and preventive purposes.

However, the drops do not lose their strength and successfully manage simultaneously with several types of parasites, ranging from lice and fleas to mites.

Negative moments

Like any other product, Bars forte drops have not only advantages, but also drawbacks. And this once again confirms the fact that universal means do not exist, and this drug was not an exception to the rules, despite the large number of positive reviews about it. So, what does not suit the owners of pets in the drops "Bars forte"?

Firstly, this is a short period of action of the drug. It is within 1-2 months. As we see, the definition of "small" in this respect is a relative term.

Secondly, a large consumption of the drug for dogs of large breeds. At a time when an animal with a body weight of up to 10 kilograms suffices only one ampoule, with a greater weight, their number will increase proportionally.

Thirdly, in some cases, the remedy proved ineffective in controlling mites. However, such situations are not singular.

Another point that does not suit some of the owners is the specific smell of the drug. Although in most cases it is nevertheless recognized as neutral and not bringing any particular inconvenience.

Whatever it was, the number of benefits is much higher than the number of deficiencies. And this means that the facility has deservedly been recognized among the many owners of animals and is considered one of the best means for fighting insects and mites.

By the way, the manufacturer produces a separate type of drops "Bars forte" for cats. And this means that the drug is universal.
