Ivermectin is a potent, broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent from the ivermectin class. It targets a wide variety of internal and external parasites by binding selectively to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells, causing paralysis and death of parasites. This injectable solution contains 31.5 mg ivermectin per ml and is designed for veterinary use to control nematodes, arthropods, and ectoparasites in livestock.
