What is Ivermectin?

Therapeutic Class:
Target Species:

Active Ingredients: Ivermectin

Ivermectin Skin Drops are an antiparasitic topical formulation designed for combating parasitic infestations in poultry and ornamental bird species. This product targets both internal and external parasites, rendering it effective against red mites, feather mites, depluming mites, northern fowl mites, scaly leg mites, and cyst mites.

The active component of this formulation, Ivermectin, belongs to the anthelmintic class of drugs derived from avermectin. Its mechanism of action involves the disruption of nervous system function within the parasite, which leads to the elimination of the infestation.

Ivermectin Skin Drops are commonly used in the poultry industry, particularly in commercial poultry farms. The rapid action of Ivermectin not only eliminates the existing parasite population but also helps prevent further infestation.

This product is also employed in the ornamental bird industry, servicing aviaries, zoos, and pet owners, as well as in veterinary practices as a prescription medication.

Ivermectin Skin Drops contains 5mg/ml of Ivermectin, serving as an antiparasitic agent effective against various external and internal parasites. This concentration provides a precise dose for targeted action. Dosage and administration must be accurately determined based on avian weight to prevent adverse reactions.

They are easy to administer and can be directly applied to the skin of the affected bird. In terms of safety, the product has undergone rigorous testing and complies with all international safety standards.

What animals can be treated with Ivermectin Skin Drops?

These drops are specifically formulated for use in both domestic poultry such as chickens, turkeys, and ducks, as well as ornamental birds like parrots, canaries, and finches. Their composition and concentration are tailored to address parasitic infestations commonly observed in these birds.

How are Ivermectin Skin Drops used?

This medication has been manufactured as a liquid intended for topical administration. To apply, the affected bird should be held securely and the medication should then be directly applied to the skin, usually the back of the neck, using a dropper. This product should not be administered orally or injected.

What is the withdrawal period for Ivermectin Skin Drops?

The withdrawal time is 7 days for eggs. This means that eggs should not be eaten or sold for human consumption within 7 days of Ivermectin Skin Drops administration.

Why would ornamental birds need Ivermectin Skin Drops?

Ornamental birds may require Ivermectin Skin Drops to treat parasite infestations. These infestations can compromise the health, vitality, and appearance of the birds.

What are the potential side effects of Ivermectin Skin Drops?

Ivermectin is generally well-tolerated in birds. However, side effects, although rare, may occur. These include temporary itching and redness at the application site. In rare cases, birds may experience lethargy or loss of appetite. Always monitor birds closely after application and consult a veterinarian if any adverse reactions are observed.

Can Ivermectin Skin Drops be used on other animals?

Ivermectin Skin Drops are specially formulated for use in poultry and ornamental birds only. They should not be used on other animals without consultation with a veterinarian.

How long would it take for Ivermectin Skin Drops to work on birds?

Ivermectin Skin Drops demonstrate a rapid onset of action. Ivermectin begins to affect the parasites soon after topical application, usually within a few hours. The entire treatment plan should be followed as per the veterinarian's recommendation.

What should be done if a dose of Ivermectin Skin Drops is missed?

If a dose is missed, administer the missed dose as soon as possible. However, if it is near the time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular dosing schedule. Do not double up on doses to make up for the one that was missed.

How do Ivermectin Skin Drops function against parasites?

Ivermectin acts by interfering with the nerve and muscle function of parasites, leading to paralysis and eventual death. It specifically targets glutamate-gated chloride channels present in invertebrates, disrupting their neurotransmission.

Are there contraindications for the use of Ivermectin Skin Drops?

Ivermectin should not be used in birds with a known hypersensitivity to it. Its use is contraindicated in birds that are sick, stressed, or debilitated, as they might exhibit an increased risk of adverse reactions.

How frequently should Ivermectin Skin Drops be administered?

The frequency of administration depends on the type and severity of the infestation. Always follow the recommended dosage and frequency provided by the manufacturer or as prescribed by a veterinarian.

Can Ivermectin Skin Drops be used concomitantly with other treatments?

Caution is advised when considering concurrent treatments. Interactions can occur between Ivermectin and other drugs, potentially leading to increased toxicity or decreased efficacy. Always consult with a veterinarian before combining treatments.

Are there any environmental considerations when using Ivermectin Skin Drops?

Residues from Ivermectin can be harmful to aquatic organisms. To minimize environmental impact, avoid washing treated birds near natural water sources and dispose of any unused medication as per local regulations.

Why would Ivermectin be more preferred as skin drops compared to other forms?

Ivermectin in drops form is often preferred due to its ease of application and high bioavailability. The topical administration allows for targeted treatment of external parasites, while the liquid form ensures rapid absorption and systemic action against internal parasites.

How should Ivermectin Skin Drops be stored?

This medication should be stored in a dark, dry location below 30°C. Keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use. Exposure to heat or direct sunlight may degrade the efficacy of the product.

Dosage

How much Ivermectin Skin Drops should be applied to poultry animals?

The usual dose is between 1-6 drops, dependent on body weight (0.2-0.4mg/kg). Apply the drops to the back of the bird's neck. Treatment should be repeated after 2 weeks.

For infestations, repeat the treatment 3 times per week.

Overdosing on Ivermectin Skin Drops can lead to toxic effects in birds, manifesting as neurological signs, lethargy, and in severe cases, death.

Immediate intervention and supportive care by a veterinarian are crucial if an overdose is suspected.

Prevention, through accurate dosing based on the bird's weight and adhering to the recommended treatment regimen, is the best approach to avoid such adverse outcomes.

Refer to a veterinary doctor or pharmacist for guidelines on dosage.

Side Effects

As with all pharmaceuticals, some unwanted effects can occur from the use of Ivermectin Skin Drops.

Some side effects may include but are not limited to:

  • diarrhea
  • blindness
  • abdominal swelling
  • temporary itching and redness at the site

Serious side effects may include allergic reactions, mild lethargy, and appetite loss in birds.

While Ivermectin Skin Drops are generally well-tolerated, they can occasionally induce neurological signs due to their mode of action on invertebrate neural channels. Prolonged use or overdose might intensify the risk of these side effects or introduce novel adverse reactions.

For a comprehensive list of all possible side effects of this medication, consult a veterinarian.

Precautions

Do NOT use Ivermectin Skin Drops for animals that:

  • have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
  • are debilitated, malnourished, or diseased.
  • are taking other antiparasitic agents, unless directed by a veterinarian.

Ivermectin can cause death when used at the incorrect dosage. Overdosing can lead to adverse effects, including neurological signs and fatalities. Consult a veterinarian to determine the appropriate dosage. Ivermectin skin drops are formulated for topical use. Ingestion can result in overdose and subsequent toxic effects.

Wear protective gloves and clothing while handling this product, and thoroughly wash your hands after application. Some individuals might experience skin irritation or allergic reactions.

Using outdated Ivermectin skin drops can lead to reduced efficacy or unpredictable side effects. Always check the expiration date before use and dispose of expired products properly.
