INTRODUCTION
Ivermectin is an injectable parasiticide for cattle and swine. One
low-volume dose effectively treats and
controls the following internal and external parasites that may impair
the health of cattle and swine:
gastrointestinal roundworms (including inhibited _Ostertagia
ostertagi_ in cattle), lungworms, grubs, sucking
lice, and mange mites of cattle; and gastrointestinal roundworms,
lungworms, lice, and mange mites in swine.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ivermectin is derived from the avermectins, a family of potent,
broad-spectrum antiparasitic agents isolated
from fermentation of_ Streptomyces avermitilis._
IVERMECTIN Injection is a clear, ready-to-use, sterile solution
containing 1% ivermectin, 40% glycerol formal,
and propylene glycol, q.s. ad 100%. IVERMECTIN Injection is formulated
to deliver the recommended dose
level of 200 mcg ivermectin/kilogram of body weight in cattle when
given subcutaneously at the rate of 1
mL/110 lb (50 kg). In Swine, IVERMECTIN Injection is formulated to
deliver the recommended dose level of 300
mcg ivermectin/kilogram body weight when given subcutaneously in the
neck at the rate of 1 mL/75 lbs (33
kg).
MODE OF ACTION
Ivermectin 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 with other
ligand-gated chloride
