Bendiar 10 Tablets is a veterinary medicine indicated for the treatment and prevention of parasitic infestations in domestic animals, specifically designed to improve the health and well-being of animals affected by various forms of parasitosis. This product comes in the form of tablets, easily administered, which guarantee effective control of problems associated with fleas, ticks and other external parasites. Its advanced formulation ensures a long duration of action and high tolerance by animals, making it a practical and safe solution for owners.
The administration of one tablet at the recommended dosage allows for immediate effectiveness and a prolonged protective effect, facilitating the management and control of infestations in a simple and timely manner. Bendiar was developed to be palatable and easily accepted by animals, minimizing stress during treatment and ensuring optimal compliance on the part of the animal itself. Regular use according to veterinary indications helps maintain skin health and promotes a safer hygienic environment for the animal and those who live with it.
Therapeutic Indications
Bendiar 10 Tablets is mainly indicated for the treatment of infestations caused by fleas and ticks in pets, with particular reference to dogs of different sizes and weights. The product works effectively by eliminating fleas before they can lay eggs, thus helping to significantly reduce the population of these parasites in the animal's usual environment. Furthermore, it is effective against several species of ticks, acting within 48 hours of the attack and protecting the animal for a prolonged period of up to a month after administration. It is also used as an integral part in the treatment of flea allergy dermatitis (FAD), an inflammatory and itchy condition that can significantly compromise the quality of life of infested dogs.
In addition to external pests, Bendiar is indicated in the treatment of skin pathologies caused by more specific parasites such as demodicosis and sarcoptic mange, dermatological conditions characterized by skin lesions, itching and psychophysical discomfort in the animal. Thanks to its broad-spectrum formulation, it supports the management of these infestations, ensuring the progressive reduction of the parasitic load and the improvement of skin conditions. The tablet, administered in compliance with the recommended doses, represents a fundamental tool for the well-being and ongoing health of animals within a veterinary care program.
The effectiveness of the treatment is linked to correct administration and compliance with the veterinary personalized treatment program, which may vary depending on the severity and type of infestation, as well as the general state of health of the animal. It is important to underline that for the product's mechanism of action, it is necessary for the parasites to begin feeding on the host; this means that complete prevention of diseases transmitted by parasites cannot be guaranteed solely by the administration of the drug.
Composition
The composition of Bendiar 10 Tablets is designed to guarantee antiparasitic efficacy combined with a high safety profile. The active ingredient present in the formulation is selected for its ability to act specifically on dog external parasite infestations, offering a powerful acaricide and insecticide effect. The tablets also contain a series of carefully chosen excipients to facilitate administration and guarantee the stability of the product over time. The excipients include natural and synthetic components that contribute to the palatability and consistency of the tablet, making it palatable and easy to ingest even by the most wary animals.
Each tablet is formulated with ingredients that ensure perfect integration of the active ingredient, improving its absorption and systemic distribution in the animal's body. The presence of stabilizing and preservative agents is optimized to maintain the effectiveness of the drug throughout the life of the package, respecting the safety and quality requirements required by current veterinary regulations. The ingredients have undergone rigorous quality controls to ensure that each tablet can offer consistent and reliable performance under the conditions of prescribed use.
The specific mixture of excipients and active ingredient makes Bendiar a versatile product, suitable for different clinical conditions and for animals with different needs, integrating an effective antiparasitic treatment with a high level of tolerability and safety. This helps to minimize side effects or unwanted reactions and to ensure optimal therapeutic efficacy for each individual animal patient.
Contraindications
The use of Bendiar 10 Tablets is contraindicated in the presence of a known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or to any of the excipients present in the formulation. It is essential to exclude the use of the product in animals that have shown allergic reactions or particular sensitivities to previous similar or related treatments. Furthermore, it is not recommended to administer Bendiar to very young puppies under 8 weeks of age or to dogs weighing less than the recommended weight, unless otherwise indicated by a veterinary surgeon based on a specific risk-benefit assessment.
The use of the product in animals with serious systemic conditions, debilitating diseases or in the convalescence phase is not recommended without prior advice from the veterinary surgeon, who will evaluate the opportunity of use in such particular situations. Improper or non-compliant use of the drug can cause adverse reactions or therapeutic ineffectiveness, therefore it is essential to scrupulously follow the indications and precautions suggested by the professional.
Furthermore, it is advisable to carefully check the patient's general health before starting treatment to prevent any complications or interference with other ongoing therapies. Compliance with these instructions guarantees maximum safety of use and minimizes the risk of side effects or contraindications.
Safety of the drug for the species
Bendiar is a product specifically designed for the canine species, with a safety profile evaluated in detail in preclinical and clinical tests which have certified its appropriate use in domestic dogs. The drug is designed to be administered in an easily chewable tablet which ensures adequate exposure of the active ingredient to the animal's body, favoring rapid intake and effective distribution. However, to ensure maximum safety of the treatment, it is essential to follow the veterinary instructions regarding dosage, frequency and methods of administration.
Since for the effectiveness of afoxolaner, the active ingredient used in Bendiar, the parasites must begin the blood meal on the host, it is necessary to consider that there is a residual risk of transmission of diseases arising from the parasite before it is effectively eliminated. Consequently, the use of the drug must be integrated with other preventive and environmental control measures to reduce the incidence of parasitic diseases.
Furthermore, in the presence of particular pathologies or in cases of animals with compromised clinical conditions, precautionary use must be evaluated by the veterinarian. Clinical experience and data collected indicate that Bendiar is well tolerated by the majority of treated animals, but any adverse reactions must be promptly reported to the veterinary surgeon for appropriate management and possible adjustment of treatment.
Precautions
When using Bendiar 10 Tablets it is essential to adopt some specific precautions to guarantee the safety of both the animals and the people involved in the administration. First of all, it is important that the treatment of puppies under 8 weeks of age and dogs weighing less than 2 kg is carried out only after a careful evaluation of the risk-benefit ratio by the responsible veterinarian, since in these categories of animals the sensitivity to the medicine may be different.
When handling the medicine it is essential to adopt precise hygiene measures, including thorough hand washing after contact with the tablets to prevent any risk of accidental exposure to the active ingredients. The product must be stored so that children and other unauthorized persons cannot access it, ideally keeping the original blister and removing only one tablet at a time to avoid contamination or uncontrolled ingestion.
In case of contact with skin or mucous membranes, it is advisable to rinse immediately with plenty of water. In the event of accidental ingestion by children or animals other than the target species, it is necessary to immediately contact a doctor or veterinarian for prompt evaluation and intervention. Precautions must also be observed to avoid interference with other medicinal products or concomitant treatments, and it is always advisable to inform the veterinarian of any simultaneous administrations.
Method of administration
Bendiar 10 Tablets is administered orally and is designed to be palatable to the palate of most dogs, making it easy to take without having to resort to forced or stressful methods. The tablet can be administered directly into the mouth or, in case of difficulty, mixed with the animal's usual food, without altering its effectiveness. It is important to ensure that the dog swallows the tablet completely to ensure the total dose of the active ingredient.
The administration program must be defined in collaboration with the veterinarian and may vary based on the clinical situation and specific therapeutic indications. The generally recommended frequency is monthly, corresponding to the protection cycle required against fleas and ticks, but can be modified in the presence of particular pathologies such as demodicosis or sarcoptic mange, for which prolonged administrations and constant monitoring are necessary.
It is also important to avoid concomitant administration with other pesticides without the advice of your veterinary surgeon, to prevent potential interactions or side effects. The correct dosage, respecting the therapeutic indications for the weight and age of the animal, helps to maximize effectiveness and minimize the risk of any adverse reactions, thus guaranteeing an effective and safe treatment.
Treatment program
For the treatment of flea and tick infestations with Bendiar 10 Tablets, it is recommended to plan a monthly administration program in periods in which the presence of these parasites is more frequent, typically during the hot seasons or in environmental conditions favorable to proliferation. Regularity of treatment is essential to prevent reinfestations and to maintain an effective long-term protective barrier, thus significantly reducing the risk of dermatological and systemic complications associated with parasites.
In the case of demodicosis, a disease caused by the Demodex canis parasite, monthly administration must continue until two consecutive negative results are obtained from skin scrapings carried out one month apart. This prolonged approach ensures complete control and healing of the infestation. Cases of severe demodicosis may require even more extensive treatment, always under close veterinary monitoring to evaluate the clinical response.
For sarcoptic mange, caused by the parasite Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis, we recommend monthly administration for at least two consecutive months. Based on the clinical response and subsequent dermatological checks, further administrations may be indicated for complete control of the infestation and to avoid relapses. This targeted treatment program makes Bendiar a versatile product adaptable to the different therapeutic needs of canine parasitosis.
Target species
Bendiar 10 Tablets is intended exclusively for dogs, representing a targeted therapeutic option designed specifically for the canine species. The formulation, dosage and indications for use are calibrated to effectively respond to the needs of this species, taking into account the physiological peculiarities and metabolism typical of dogs. Use in other animal species is not recommended without specific veterinary authorization, as safety and efficacy have not been evaluated in such cases.
The use of the product must always take place under the supervision of a veterinarian, who will be responsible for adapting the treatment methods and dosage based on the age, weight, health conditions and specific needs of each individual patient. The objective is to offer an effective and safe therapeutic solution that contributes to maintaining the health and well-being of the dog, preventing and effectively treating local external parasitic infestations.
Thanks to Bendiar 10 Tablets, dog owners can count on a reliable and easy-to-use product, which integrates perfectly into an annual or seasonal parasite treatment and prevention program, offering complete protection and helping to improve the quality of life of pets.
