Ivermectin 1% Sterile Solution injected, 100 ml
Description:
Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug used mainly in veterinary medicine and has recently demonstrated antiviral activity.
Ingredients :
1 ml of the drug contains the active ingredient:
ivermectin – 10.0 mg.
Pharmacological properties:
The active ingredient of the drug is ivermectin, which belongs to the compounds produced by microorganisms of the Streptomices avermitis group.
The mechanism of action of the drug on the body of the parasite is that ivermectin stimulates the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in presynaptic neurons, which bind to special receptors of nerve endings, increasing the permeability of membranes for chlorine ions and blocking the transmission of neuromuscular impulses.
This causes paralysis and death of the parasites.
Ivermectin has a high efficiency and a wide spectrum of action (insecticidal, acaricidal and nematicidal activity) and relatively low toxicity.
Ivermectin is not effective against trematodes and tapeworms because GABA does not function as a peripheral neurotransmitter in them.
The study, published in the journal Antiviral Research *, involved the Biomedicine Discovery Institute and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Australia).
The preclinical study led to the following conclusions:
- ivermectin inhibits the Β virus Β in vitro ;
- a single injection of ivermectin into the cell culture stops the replication of the virus, leading to a decrease in its concentration by about 5 thousand times in 48 hours;
- ivermectin preparations are approved for marketing in many countries for the treatment of helminthic infestations;
- ivermectin is also available in many low-income countries as it is on the WHO List of Essential Medicines.
