What is Biocanina Tetramethrin BCN Shampoo 200 ml used for?
Biocanina Tetramethrin BCN Shampoo 200 ml is recommended for treating infestations caused by fleas, lice, and ticks in dogs and cats. The tetramethrin in this product is a compound belonging to the pyrethroid family. It was selected for its insecticidal and acaricidal properties. The compound works by contact, blocking the transmission of nerve impulses in insects. These effects are attributed to changes in the membrane permeability of axons to sodium and potassium ions.
One of the major advantages of Biocanina BCN Tetramethrin Shampoo is its ability to quickly eliminate parasites. Thanks to tetramethrin, an effective insecticide, this shampoo acts in record time to kill fleas, ticks, and lice that may infest your pet’s coat. The parasites are paralyzed and then eliminated, which quickly relieves the animal of unpleasant symptoms such as itching and skin irritation.
In addition to its effectiveness in treating current infestations, this antiparasitic shampoo can also be used preventively. By applying it regularly when bathing your pet, you significantly reduce the risk of future parasite infestations. This preventive measure is particularly crucial in regions where parasites are common and can cause serious health problems.
Parasite bites can cause intense and persistent itching in animals. This itching can cause significant discomfort and disrupt your pet’s daily life. By using this anti-parasite shampoo, you provide welcome relief for your pet. By quickly eliminating the parasites responsible for the bites, the shampoo helps soothe itching and reduce skin irritation. Your pet will feel more comfortable and be less likely to scratch, which helps prevent further skin problems.
At the Clément Thékan Veterinary Laboratory, we also offer Calmocanil soothing shampoo at the best price in our online pharmacy.
