INTRODUCTION
IVERMECTIN (ivermectin topical solution) Pour-On delivers internal and
external parasite control in
one convenient low-volume application. IVERMECTIN Pour-On contains
ivermectin, a unique chemical
entity.
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 binds 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 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 fact that mammals do
not have the glutamate-gated chloride channel, the macrocyclic
lactones have a low affinity for other
mammalian ligand-gated chloride channel and they do not readily cross
the blood-brain barrier.
INDICATIONS
IVERMECTIN (ivermectin topical solution) Pour-On applied at the
recommended dose level of 500
mcg/kg is indicated for the effective treatment and control of these
parasites.
