Abstract
In 2021, 8 novel pharmaceutical agents for small animals were released on the German market: The specific monoclonal antibodies bedinvetmab (Librela®) and frunevetmab (Solensia®), the cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor enflioxib (Daxocox®), the ectoparasitic esafoxolaner (NexGard® Combo) of the isoxazoline group, the anti-haemorrhagic etamsylate (Hemosilate), the antidepressant mirtazapine (Mirataz®), the alpha-selective sympathomimetic tetryzoline for ophthalmic use (Zolicep®) and the cytostatic tigilanol tiglate (Stelfonta®). No active substance received an animal species extension. In addition, for small animals, there were new releases of two agents in a novel pharmaceutical formulation (cefalexin, gentamicin), five drugs with a new content of the active ingredient (metronidazole, pimobendan, thiamazole, tramadol, trilostane), one veterinary drug with a new combination of active ingredients (lotilaner + milbemycin oxime), one drug with a new route of administration (propofol) and furthermore two temporarily non-available active ingredients for certain animal species were reapproved in new drugs (levothyroxine for cats and oxytetracycline for dogs and cats).

Efficacy of two endectoparasiticide products combining fipronil and (S)-methoprene or esafoxolaner with eprinomectin and praziquantel against fleas and intestinal helminths in cats naturally infested in Brazil. Parasite 2022; 29:12. [PMID: 35238771 PMCID: PMC8893013 DOI: 10.1051/parasite/2022012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Eprinomectin and praziquantel, nematodicide and cestodicide compounds, are both combined with the insecticide and acaricide compounds fipronil and (S)-methoprene in Frontline® Protect/Broadline®, or esafoxolaner in NexGard® Combo. These topical feline endectoparasiticide products were tested for efficacy against fleas and intestinal helminths in a field trial in Brazil. Flea- and/or helminth-infested domestic cats were treated twice at a monthly interval following label instructions: 160 cats with Frontline® Protect/Broadline® and 165 cats with NexGard® Combo. The flea and intestinal helminth infestations were evaluated using comb counts and copromicroscopy, respectively before first treatment for baseline value, then 9 and 30 days after each treatment for fleas, and 9 days after each treatment for helminths. Multiparasitism was very frequent at baseline, as amongst the 325 included cats, 295, 280, 86 and 93 cats were at least infested with Ctenocephalides fleas, Ancylostoma, Toxocara and Dipylidium caninum, respectively. Efficacies were calculated by comparing the geometric means at baseline and at post-treatment timepoints for each parasite genus/species. Inclusive of both products and of all evaluation timepoints, the Ctenocephalides, Ancylostoma, Toxocara and D. caninum efficacies were at least 98.3%, 99.8%, 99.8% and 96.3%, respectively. No adverse reactions were observed, except for a few instances of mild, transient, and self-resolving hypersalivation occurring on the day of treatment in both groups. This field trial demonstrated high-level efficacy of Frontline® Protect/Broadline® and NexGard® Combo against major parasites of cats in Brazil.
