Pharmacotherapeutic group:

Fenpraz tablets belong to the pharmacotherapeutic group of anthelmintic drugs in combinations.

The combination of praziquantel, pyrantel pamoate and fenbendazole, which are part of the drug, has a wide spectrum of anthelmintic action against round and ribbon helminths, as well as protozoa of the genus giardia, parasitic in dogs and cats, including Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma caninum, Trihuris vulpis. Echinococcus multilocularis. Echinococcus granulosis, Taenia spp., Dipylidium caninum, Multiceps multiceps, Mesocestoides spp., Giardia spp.

Pyrantel pamoate is a compound of the pyrimidine group, its mechanism of action is based on the blockade of the transmission of nerve impulses in neuromuscular synapses by depolarization of muscle cell membranes, which causes paralysis of the muscular system of nematodes. Pyrantel pamoate is poorly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, which ensures its prolonged effect on helminths in the gastrointestinal tract. It is excreted from the body mainly unchanged with faeces (93%).

Praziquantel is a compound of the pyrazinisoquinoline group, its mechanism of action is based on inducing the breakdown of tegument and inhibition of fumarate reductase, persistent depolarization of helminth muscle cells, violation of energy metabolism, which causes paralysis and death of nematodes and cestodes and promotes their excretion from the gastrointestinal tract. Praziquantel is rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, reaching a maximum concentration in blood plasma after 1-3 hours, reversibly binds to serum proteins (70-80%), is partially metabolized in the liver, is re-secreted into the intestine, is excreted mainly in urine (up to 80%) within 24 hours.

Fenbendazole is a compound of the benzimidazole group, has a wide spectrum of nematodocidal and cestodocidal action, is active against adult forms, larvae and eggs of nematodes of the gastrointestinal tract and cestodes. The mechanism of action of fenbendazole is the destruction of microchannels in the intestinal cells of helminths and disruption of energy processes, which leads to the death of parasites. After oral administration, fenbendazole is easily absorbed in the intestine and distributed in the organs and tissues of the animal, is excreted from the body both in unchanged form and in the form of metabolites, mainly with bile and partially with urine, in lactating animals - also with milk.
