What is Ivermectin?
Ivermectin is one of the world's leading anti-parasitic drugs on the
market. Originally developed as a veterinary drug, it has also been
proven to help with human parasites as well. It is actually a
combination of two compounds derived from the same compound, avermectin,
originally developed
from a strain of bacterium. The bacterium strains were fermented, and
shown in testing to cause damage to parasites in small rodents.
C48H74O14
(22,23-dihydroavermectin B1a)
+ C47H72O14 (22,23-dihydroavermectin B1b)
Ivermectin kills parasites by stopping muscle function (paralysis) and
damaging the nerves.
There are many different brands of Ivermectin,
including
Zimecterin®,
Ivomec®,
Heartgard®, Iverheart Plus®, and Stomectrol®.
