Mechanism of Action

Ivermectin binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels in the nerve and muscle cells of parasites. This increases the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions, leading to paralysis and death of the parasite.

It does not significantly affect human nerve cells due to the blood-brain barrier and its selectivity, making it a safe and effective choice for antiparasitic treatment.
