It blocks GABA-dependent parasite receptors, disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses in arthropods, but does not exert such an effect on mammalian GABA receptors. When applied to the skin of an animal, the drug is practically not absorbed into the systemic circulation and is evenly distributed over the surface of the body during the day, accumulating in the sebaceous glands of the skin and, thus, protecting domestic animals from ectoparasites. Fiprist Spot It belongs to moderately hazardous substances by the degree of impact on the body of warm-blooded animals. Eye contact causes slight irritation. The drug is toxic to rabbits, fish and other aquatic organisms.
