What is IVERMECTIN?
IVERMECTIN belongs to the class of drugs called anthelmintics. IVERMECTIN is being studied as an effective supplement to help combat certain viral infections and reduce symptoms related. Multiple studies are ongoing and there are some studies that have reported promising results. IVERMECTIN is a member of the macrocyclic lactone class of endectocides which have a unique mode ofaction. Compounds of the class bind selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels which occur in the invertebrate of the nerve or 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.

How should I take IVERMECTIN?
Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information. It is usually taken as a
single dose on an empty stomach with a full glass of water. A recent pharmacokinetics study reports that following a high-fat meal
absorption was significantly higher (about 2.5 times) than in the fasted state.

 

Tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescriptions
and non-prescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking or planning to take.
Be sure to mention the use of medications used to treat anxiety, mental illness or seizures, muscle relaxants, sedatives, sleeping pills,
or tranquilizers. Your doctor may need to adjust your medication dosages or monitor you more closely for side effects.
