(Omaha, Nebraska, April 2008)—Meridian Animal Health, a new Omaha-based companion animal health company, introduces Ectopamine&trade, a line of natural flea, tick and mosquito control topicals for cats and sprays for dogs and cats available exclusively through veterinarians.
The patented blend of natural active oils (including clove, peppermint and lemon grass) in Ectopamine products targets and blocks the Octopamine neurotransmitter receptors in insects, causing a total breakdown of the insect’s central nervous system. Octopamine is not found in humans, other mammals, birds or fish. The active ingredients in Ectopamine are safe for use around children and pets when used as directed and are ideal for young, old, pregnant, nursing and debilitated canines and felines.
”Meridian Animal Health is pleased to provide veterinarians and their clients access to safe and effective natural pest control products,“ says Caryn Stichler, vice president of marketing at Meridian Animal Health. ”Our research and development team developed Ectopamine because pet owners are increasingly looking for natural health care remedies.“
