PHARMACOLOGY
Defender Plus Tablets contain three active ingredients havingdifferent modes of action and spectra of activity. Praziquantel is activeagainst cestodes (tapeworms). Praziquantel is absorbed, metabolized in theliver and excreted in the bile. Upon entering the digestive tract from thebile, cestocidal activity is exhibited. Following exposure to praziquantel, thetapeworm loses its ability to resist digestion by the mammalian host. Becauseof this, whole tapeworms, including the scolices, are very rarely passed afteradministration of praziquantel. In many instances only disintegrated andpartially digested pieces of tapeworms will be seen in the stool. Themajorities of tapeworms are digested and are not found in the feces.
Pyrantel pamoate is active against hookworms and ascarids.Pyrantel Pamoate acts on the cholinergic receptors of the nematode resulting inspastic paralysis. Peristaltic action of the intestinal tract then eliminatesthe parasite.
Febantel is active against nematode parasites includingwhipworms. Febantel is rapidly absorbed and metabolized in the animal.
Available information suggests that the parasite’s energymetabolism is blocked, leading to energy exchange breakdown and inhibitedglucose uptake.
