Deltamethrin Pour-On Solution

Active Ingredients: Deltamethrin

Deltamethrin Pour-On Solution is a ready-to-use antiparasitic medication used to treat or prevent ectoparasitic infestation in livestock like cows, sheep, and goats. It is effective against parasites like sucking lice, biting lice, ticks, flies, and keds. This insecticide is intended for external use only.

Deltamethrin is classified as a synthetic pyrethroid, which works as a contact insecticide. It interferes with neurotransmission, which eventually leads to the paralysis and death of the parasite. It shows activity against a broad range of parasites, including Bovicola, Solenopotes, Linognathus, Haematopinus, Haematobia, Stomoxys, Musca Hydrotaea, and Ixodes.

Its mode of action is primarily through the disruption of the nervous system of parasites. It binds to voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cells, prolonging the opening of these channels. This leads to an increased influx of sodium ions, resulting in hyperexcitation of the nervous system and later causing rapid knockdown and eventual death of the parasite.

Deltamethrin's high lipophilicity enhances its adherence to the skin and fur of animals, ensuring effective targeting of ectoparasites that reside on the host.

The use of Deltamethrin Pour-On Solution is tailored to manage infestations in a targeted and controlled manner. It is designed to ensure adequate skin absorption and sustained action, providing prolonged protection against re-infestation. The solution is typically formulated to minimize skin irritation, thereby allowing for direct application on the animal's skin.

Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling this drug.

Administer the product in a well-ventilated area. Wear protective gloves while handling this product, and thoroughly wash your hands after treatment.

This drug is known to be toxic to cats. Cats lack certain liver enzymes, specifically glucuronosyltransferases, which are crucial for metabolizing many compounds, including synthetic pyrethroids like Deltamethrin. This deficiency means that cats are unable to effectively break down and eliminate these compounds from their bodies, leading to a higher risk of toxicity.

It is also toxic to fish and other aquatic life for similar reasons. Do not use it in ponds or other bodies of water. Dispose of any waste material according to local regulations.
