Vectra Felis - spot-on solution for cats against adult fleas and their immature forms
Composition: dinotefuran and pyriproxyfen
Dinotefuran: insecticide. Its structure is derived from the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the nerve synapses of insects. Once bound to these receptors, its agonistic action to stimulate repeated impulses kills the insect. Insects do not need to ingest dinotefuran - it acts by contact. Dinotefuran has a low affinity for acetylcholine receptors in mammals.
Pyriproxyfen: photostable insect growth regulator (IGR). It acts by contact, mimicking the hormones that regulate insect molting - their transition from one phase of the life cycle to another. Pyriproxyfen stops the flea life cycle by causing the release of immature eggs and also by inhibiting yolk deposition in flea eggs, which leads to the production of infertile eggs. Pyriproxyfen also blocks the development of early stages (larvae and pupae stage I) and their transformation into adults. This prevents environmental infestation by the animal.
Therapeutic indications: Treatment and prevention of flea infestation (Ctenocephalides felis) in cats. One application prevents flea infestation for one month. It also prevents flea multiplication by inhibiting the emergence of fleas in the cat's environment for 3 months. The veterinary medicinal product can be used as part of the treatment strategy for flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) in cats.
Dosage: The minimum recommended dose is 42.3 mg dinotefuran /kg body weight and 4.23 mg pyriproxyfen /kg body weight. The dose ranges from 42.3 to 705 mg dinotefuran /kg body weight and from 4.23 to 70.5 mg pyriproxyfen /kg body weight for cats with a body weight from 0.6 kg to 10 kg.
Method and route of administration: topical application.
Step 1: Hold the applicator upright with your fingers under the larger disc, as shown.
Step 2: With your other hand, press down on the smaller disc until the two discs meet flush. This will pierce the foil.
Step 3: The cat should be standing or in a comfortable position for easy application. Part the fur at the base of the head until the skin is visible. Apply the veterinary medicinal product slowly with the tip of the applicator onto the skin. Avoid superficial application onto the cat's fur.
Treatment regimen: The veterinary medicinal product provides protection against flea infestation for one month and prevents flea multiplication in the cat's surrounding environment for up to three months. The need for re-treatment of cats likely to be re-infested with fleas and the time interval between treatments is determined by the responsible veterinarian.
