Abstract

Antiparasitic drugs stand out as important causative agents of poisoning in veterinary medicine. Cases of poisoning by ivermectin and deltamethrin are common in domestic animals, due to indiscriminate use, which requires some care with administration. This article aimed to investigate and describe, based on the literature, risk factors and determinants of poisoning by ivermectin and deltamethrin used in the medical clinic of dogs and cats. The results showed that some species of parasites from companion animals have relevance in public and environmental health due to their zoonotic potential, and need to be combated pharmacologically. However, treatments with ivermectin and deltamethrin require careful administration, since iatrogenic intoxications are highly prevalent and are associated with the fact that these antiparasitic drugs are low-cost medications that are easy to acquire by the population, without requiring a veterinary prescription. Another risk factor is that the age of the animals is lower than that indicated for the use of these antiparasitic drugs. Due to the recklessness of tutors and employees of agricultural establishments, preventive actions are necessary to reduce the incidence of drug poisoning in pets, and it is necessary to raise awareness among the population regarding the use of antiparasitics, which can be toxic to animals when administered in contraindicated situations.
