How It Works

Agri-Mectin (Ivermectin) 1% Sterile Solution Injection works by targeting the nervous system of parasites, leading to their paralysis and eventual death. The active ingredient, ivermectin, binds to specific receptors in the nerve and muscle cells of parasites, causing an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions. This leads to hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cells, resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite.

Ivermectin is effective against a wide range of internal and external parasites, including gastrointestinal worms, lungworms, lice, and mites. It is particularly effective against parasites that affect cattle and swine, helping to improve the health and productivity of livestock.

One of the key advantages of ivermectin is its broad-spectrum activity, which means it can target multiple types of parasites with a single treatment. This makes it a highly effective and convenient option for parasite control in cattle and swine.

Additionally, ivermectin has a relatively low toxicity to mammals, making it safe for use in cattle and swine when administered according to the recommended dosage. It is important to follow the instructions provided on the product label or by your veterinarian to ensure the safe and effective use of Agri-Mectin (Ivermectin) 1% Sterile Solution Injection in your livestock.
