Ivermectin is a highly effective broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent belonging to the macrocyclic lactone class. It acts by enhancing inhibitory neurotransmission (via gamma-aminobutyric acid and glutamate-gated chloride channels), resulting in paralysis and death of internal and external parasites. This formulation is intended for oral administration in livestock and poultry to treat and prevent parasitic infestations.
