Vectra VAG

Vectra VAG is a veterinary pharmaceutical product, specifically a topical ectoparasiticide formulation developed for the control and prevention of flea and tick infestations in dogs. It typically contains a combination of active ingredients such as dinotefuran, pyriproxyfen, and permethrin. Dinotefuran acts as a fast-acting insecticide by binding to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect's nervous system, leading to paralysis and death. Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that mimics juvenile hormone, preventing the development of flea eggs and larvae into adults. Permethrin provides repellent and insecticidal activity against ticks, mosquitoes, and biting flies by disrupting sodium channel kinetics in their nerve cells. The 'VAG' designation is often associated with specific regional branding or packaging variations of the Vectra 3D line produced by Ceva Santé Animale.
