Pharmacological properties:
Dana® Spot-on belongs to the insectoacaricidal drugs of the phenylpyrosol group.
Fipronil, which is part of the drug, has pronounced insectoacaricidal activity against the preimaginal and imaginal phases of development of fleas (Ctenocephalides canis, Ctenocephalides felis), lice (Linognathus setosus), lice (Trichodectes canis), sarcoptes (Sarcoptes canis, Sarcoptes vulpis, Notoedres cati , Otodectes cynotis, Psoroptes cuniculi), ixodes (Ixodes ricinus, Ixodes scapularis Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Dermacentor reticulatus, Dermacentor variabilis) and demodicosis (Demodex spp.) ticks.
The mechanism of action of fipronil is to block GABA-dependent arthropod receptors, disrupting the transmission of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and death of insects and ticks.
After applying the drug to the skin, fipronil, practically not absorbed into the systemic bloodstream, spreads through the skin and hair of the animal, accumulates in the epidermis, hair follicles And sebaceous glands, providing a contact insectoacaricidal effect, which manifests itself after 12-24 hours and continues for 4-6 weeks after a single treatment of the animal.

The packaging of the drug contains several sealed pipettes containing a working solution of the substance, ready for use. When purchasing, be sure to pay attention to what type of animal and what age group the product is being purchased for. The dosage of the working substance and the content of additives completely depends on the type of animal - for cats or dogs, and on age - for puppies or kittens. It is fundamentally important point, non-compliance with the rules of which can lead to poisoning.

"Dana" contains fipronil, which acts gently, non-aggressively towards the pet, while effectively expelling fleas.

Fipronil does not penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and does not enter the blood. His chemical formula allows the drug to spread evenly over the outer layers of the pet’s skin, thereby achieving a good insecticidal effect without harming the animal itself.

Previously it was produced with diazinon, which was widely used in veterinary medicine. This active substance is effective, but caused allergic reactions in a small percentage of animals. It is for this reason that you can still find many conflicting reviews (mostly before 2015) about the drug "Dana". Some owners claimed that the drops were effective and had no effect on the animal’s health, others talked about the allergy symptoms they encountered. However, since 2015, the production of the drug “Dana” with diazinon has been discontinued and currently the drug “Dana” is produced only on the basis of fipronil, which (as mentioned above) does not cause such reactions in animals.

No matter how unusual it may sound for many readers, a flea and its owner - a dog or cat - have been living together since ancient times. Of course, from much earlier than these animals were domesticated by humans. The word “commonwealth” was not chosen by chance; fleas live and feed at the expense of their owner, but they also benefit him. This phenomenon is called synergy and was described in the article.

In some cases, the flea population may increase spontaneously, without any visible reasons. An attentive owner will immediately notice the difference:

The animal's coat loses its shine and becomes dull.
Constant molting begins. The hairs of the coat are first shed singly, then in whole tassels.
The animal is actively and constantly itching.
At night, dogs may yelp and whine from multiple bites.
Upon careful examination of the coat, you can see a large number of fleas scurrying between the hairs.

It is necessary to fight fleas only if their concentration exceeds permissible standards.

Use of drugs internally.
Use of parenteral administration (intramuscular or subcutaneous injections).
External treatment - drops on the withers, use of insecticidal shampoos, collars.

Important! If the animal’s condition does not require additional health intervention, then at home it is better to use shampoos or drops on the withers.

And as for more serious funds insecticidal preparations used, they are used only on the recommendation of a veterinarian. Therefore, for normal household use, if fleas are very annoying, it is enough simple remedies to the surface of the skin.

Active substance and mechanism of action

Dana flea drops contain either fipronil or diazinon.

Despite the differences between these substances, the mechanism of their insecticidal action is similar. Penetrating into the insect’s body, these substances disrupt the process of impulse transmission between nerve cells. This causes muscle tremors and disorientation. Insects die from paralysis of the nervous and muscular systems.

Important! Both substances are classified as low-hazard in relation to warm-blooded animals. But increasing the dose of a substance in any drug can have a toxic effect.

In my private home there are always from 3 to 5 cats and kittens living, so the problem of fleas and ticks is more familiar to me than anyone else. I use Dan drops. They help well. But some cats become allergic to them. Therefore, I use it with caution.
