INTRODUCTION
The ability of ivermectin to deliver internal and external parasite
control has been proven in cattle
markets around the world. Now, lvermax
Plus combines ivermectin, the active ingredient of lvermax
1%, with clorsulon, an effective adult flukicide. A single injection
of lvermax
Plus (ivermectin and
clorsulon) offers all the benefits of lvermax
1% plus control of adult _Fasciola hepatica_.
THE DOSAGE LEVEL OF CLORSULON SUPPLIED BY LVERMAX PLUS IS EFFECTIVE ONLY AGAINST ADULT LIVER FLUKES
(_FASCIOLA HEPATICA_).
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
lvermax
Plus is a ready-to-use sterile solution containing 1% w/v ivermectin,
10% w/v clorsulon,
40% glycerol formal, and propylene glycol, q.s. ad 100%. It is
formulated to deliver the recommended
dose level of 200 mcg ivermectin/kg and 2 mg clorsulon/kg given
subcutaneously behind the shoulder
at the rate of 1 ml per 110 lb (50 kg) body weight.
MODE OF ACTION
lvermectin is a member of the macrocyclic lactone class of
endectocides which have a unique mode of
action. Compounds of the class bind selectively and with high affinity
to glutamate-gated chloride ion
channels which occur in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. This
leads to an increase in the
permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions with
hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cell,
resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite. Compounds of this
class may also interact wrth other
ligand-gated chloride channels, such as those gated by the
neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid
(GABA).
The margin of safety for compounds of this class is attributable to
the f
