PHARMACEUTICAL PROPERTIES
Ivermectin is an antiparasitic of the avermectins family with great activity on both internal and external parasites of domestic animals (endectocide). Ivermectin acts on nematodes and arthropods via gamma amino butyric acid (GABA). It causes its release from the pre-synaptic membrane and potentiates its binding to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane. GABA is a neuromediator involved in the transmission of inhibitory messages between the inter-neuron and motor neuron in nematodes and between the nerve fiber and the muscle cell in arthropods. At recommended doses, ivermectin is very well tolerated in both adults and youngsters and can be used at all stages of gestation. Ivermectin is not active against flukes and tapeworms.
