general characteristics

Inspector drops are a colorless liquid with a light oily structure.
The container in which they are sold is also a pipette, ensuring ease of use and ease of application. The drug contains the following components:

Fipronil is the main active ingredient; it is a well-known type of insecticide. This component was chosen for a reason, since it retained all the positive aspects of the substances of the permethrin group, but at the same time is much safer for cats due to its low level of toxicity. The content is about 10%.
Moxidectin is another insecticidal substance that is absorbed into the skin and enters the bloodstream, after which it has a detrimental effect on parasites. This component, like fipronil, was chosen because it is safe for cats, which usually do not tolerate permethrin and its analogues well. The content of the composition is about 2.5%.
Isopropanol is one of the simplest alcohol compounds and functions as an auxiliary component.
Dimethyl sulfoxide is a solvent substance that is included in many medicines intended for both humans and animals.
Polyethylene glycol is one of the polymers responsible for the structure of the drug and is included in the composition in a minimal amount.

Reviews

Let's look at the reviews about using the product. Owners write:

From Ekaterina: “My elderly cat tolerated the inspector’s treatment well; among the advantages, I note that there are no ticks, no fleas, no helminths. Disadvantage: the cat refused to eat. But the good thing about the drops is that you don’t have to force the animal to eat the pills (my Motya regurgitates them).
Elena writes: “I liked the drug. My pet had an intolerance to helminthic drugs, we tried to give suspensions and tablets, but the result was vomiting foam at the mouth and grumbling of the pet. Attempts to give any drugs turned out to be nothing. The seller of the veterinary pharmacy advised me to use the “inspector”; according to the instructions, I determined the procedure, most importantly, I weighed the cat. He weighed 3.7 kg - he could safely apply the product. The effect is long lasting!”
Review of the “mini inspector”: Finally, a remedy was found for my lightweight cat, otherwise the adults were disinfected, but the product was not suitable for the baby due to its low weight. Before use, I caught several fleas from the face, but now they are really gone. Take note, the drug will also help against ticks and worms!”
