Oriheal Vetparazone Ivermectin Antiparasitic Injection for Dogs & Cats
Oriheal Vetparazone is a veterinary antiparasitic injectable solution containing Ivermectin, manufactured by Oriheal Lifesciences. Ivermectin is a macrocyclic lactone antiparasitic agent with broad-spectrum activity against nematodes (roundworms, hookworms, whipworms) and ectoparasites (mange mites, lice). Vetparazone is indicated for the treatment and prevention of endo- and ectoparasitic infestations in dogs and cats under veterinary prescription.
Composition (to be confirmed from product label)
-
Ivermectin — concentration per ml (confirm from label)
- Suitable injectable solvent base — q.s.
Mechanism of Action
- Ivermectin binds selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells, causing increased permeability to chloride ions, hyperpolarisation, and paralysis and death of the parasite
- Selective toxicity to parasites — mammalian GABA-gated chloride channels are not similarly affected at therapeutic doses (note: ivermectin can cross the blood-brain barrier in breeds with MDR1/ABCB1 gene mutation — see Safety Information)
Therapeutic Class
- Veterinary macrocyclic lactone antiparasitic prescription injection — broad-spectrum endoparasitic and ectoparasitic treatment for dogs and cats
Indications (confirm from label)
- Gastrointestinal nematodes — roundworms (Toxocara, Toxascaris), hookworms (Ancylostoma, Uncinaria)
- Sarcoptic mange (Sarcoptes scabiei) in dogs
- Demodectic mange (Demodex canis) — off-label use; confirm with veterinarian
- Ectoparasites — lice and mites
- Microfilariae suppression (heartworm preventive use — confirm species suitability with veterinarian)
Directions for Use
- Administer by subcutaneous injection as directed by a licensed veterinarian
- Dosage determined by species, body weight, and target parasite — refer to veterinary prescription
- Do not administer intravenously
Safety Information
- Prescription medicine — for veterinary use only; administer under licensed veterinary supervision
-
MDR1/ABCB1 gene mutation warning: Collies, Australian Shepherds, Shetland Sheepdogs, and related breeds may carry the MDR1 mutation causing ivermectin sensitivity — do not use without prior MDR1 genetic testing or veterinary assessment
- Do not use in cats at doses not specifically indicated for feline use — cats are sensitive to ivermectin toxicity
- Do not use in puppies under 6 weeks of age
- Monitor for neurological signs (ataxia, tremors, mydriasis) post-administration — seek veterinary attention immediately if observed
- Keep out of reach of children; store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; protect from light
