Ivermectin Oral Solution

Active Ingredients: Ivermectin

Ivermectin Oral Solution is an antiparasitic drug used to treat internal and external parasites in livestock animals like camels, cows, goats and sheep. It is indicated for infestations of certain types of gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, and nasal bots. Ivermectin is an effective parasiticide for many common worms, including Barber's Pole Worm.

Ivermectin is within the family of medicines called anthelmintics. It is derived from avermectin, and it works by inhibiting some functions of the nervous system within the parasite. This leads to its paralysis and then the death of the parasite.

The drug is also often employed as a preventive measure in livestock management practices. Regular deworming protocols help maintain the health and well-being of animals, improve their growth rates, and enhance overall productivity. Properly administered Ivermectin treatment can contribute to the sustainability of livestock farming by reducing the economic losses associated with parasitic infections.
