Composition of the preparation.

MediFox - a remedy for fighting ectoparasites.

The effect of the drug is due to a violation of ion permeability of sodium channels and inhibition of polarization (repolarization) of the membrane of nerve cells in lice, fleas, ticks (including scabies) and other ectoparasites of the family of arthropods, which leads to a paralyzing effect.

After the cutaneous application, the absorption is no more than 2%. The part of the substance that enters the systemic circulation quickly hydrolyses to inactive metabolites excreted mainly in the urine. With a single treatment of surfaces affected by pediculosis, the anticonvulsant effect persists from 2-3 to 6 weeks (depending on the dosage form used). Effective as an anti-scratch.

The drug is slightly toxic to humans and when applied to the skin surface in permissible concentrations and doses, does not have a resorptive, local irritant and sensitizing effect on it.
