VIRTRAZ INJ

Dual-Action Parasiticide: Contact Kill and Tick Detachment:
Virtraz does not merely kill ticks on contact; its unique formamidine chemistry simultaneously disrupts the neurological mechanisms that keep feeding ticks attached to the host. This dual action means that ticks are killed and removed before they complete their blood meal, dramatically reducing the window of pathogen transmission and delivering more comprehensive protection than products with kill-only activity.

Broad-Spectrum Ectoparasitic Coverage Across Species:
A single product formulation addresses the full spectrum of clinically significant ectoparasites in both companion animals and livestock, including ticks, mites responsible for demodectic and sarcoptic mange, fleas, lice, and keds. This makes Virtraz a uniquely versatile and economical solution for multi-species households, farms, and veterinary practices managing diverse animal populations under a single ectoparasite control protocol.

Highly Concentrated Formula for Flexible and Economical Dilution:
The 12.5% w/v concentration of Amitraz in Virtraz means that a single 6 ml vial, when diluted to the prescribed working concentration of 2 ml per litre of water, yields a clinically effective working wash for regular application. This concentration-to-volume ratio delivers professional-grade ectoparasite control at a cost point that is accessible for individual pet owners and large animal keepers alike, without compromising on the quality or efficacy of the active ingredient.

Preferred by Veterinarians for Resistance Management:
Amitraz belongs to a mechanistically distinct acaricide class (formamidines) with a different mode of action from synthetic pyrethroids, organophosphates, and isoxazolines. This makes Virtraz a critical product in structured resistance management and rotation protocols, particularly in geographic regions of India where tick resistance to pyrethroids is well-documented, ensuring sustained long-term efficacy where other products may be losing their effectiveness.

Established Efficacy Against Mange, Including Demodicosis:
Amitraz remains one of the most clinically validated and veterinarian-recommended treatments for canine demodicosis, a condition caused by proliferation of Demodex canis mites in the hair follicles that can be extremely difficult to resolve with other topical treatments. The regular dip protocol with Virtraz directly targets mites within the follicular environment, alleviating the pruritus, alopecia, and secondary bacterial infection that characterise generalised demodectic mange.

How to Use:

Virbac Virtraz Liquid is for topical external use only. It must never be administered orally or by injection. This product must be diluted with water before use and must never be applied to any animal in its undiluted, concentrated form. For dogs and cats: dilute 2 ml of Virtraz per litre of water for tick and flea control, and 3 to 4 ml per litre of water for mite and mange treatment. For large animals including cattle, sheep, camel, and pig: dilute 2 ml per litre of water for tick, ear sore, and hump sore control, and 3 to 4 ml per litre of water for mite infestations. Apply one treatment per week.

Storage Advice:

Store unopened Virbac Virtraz Liquid 6 ml in a cool, dry place below 25 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Do not freeze. Keep the vial tightly closed after use. Store separately from food, animal feed, and human medicines, and keep out of reach of children and animals. The diluted working solution must be prepared fresh for each treatment session and must not be stored for future use. Do not use after the best-before date printed on the vial.
