  <description>Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum anti-parasite medication. It was first marketed under the name Stromectol&amp;#174; and used against worms (except tapeworms), but, in 2012, it was approved for the topical treatment of head lice infestations in patients 6 months of age and older, and marketed under the name Sklice&amp;#8482; as well. Ivermectin is mainly used in humans in the treatment of onchocerciasis, but is also effective against other worm infestations (such as strongyloidiasis, ascariasis, trichuriasis and enterobiasis).</description>

  <mechanism-of-toxicity>Ivermectin binds selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in invertebrate muscle and nerve cells of the microfilaria. This binding causes an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions and results in hyperpolarization of the cell, leading to paralysis and death of the parasite. Ivermectin also is believed to act as an agonist of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), thereby disrupting GABA-mediated central nervous system (CNS) neurosynaptic transmission. Ivermectin may also impair normal intrauterine development of O. volvulus microfilariae and may inhibit their release from the uteri of gravid female worms. It has low solubility in water and extensive non-specific binding. It opens GABA-insensitive chloride channels, reducing membrane resistance and increasing conductance inward.

  <metabolism>Primarily hepatic. Ivermectin and/or its metabolites are excreted almost exclusively in the feces over an estimated 12 days, with less than 1 % of the administered dose excreted in the urine.

Route of Elimination: Ivermectin is metabolized in the liver, and ivermectin and/or its metabolites are excreted almost exclusively in the feces over an estimated 12 days, with less than 1% of the administered dose excreted in the urine.

Half Life: 16 hours (also reported at 22-28 hours)</metabolism>

  <carcinogenicity>Not listed by IARC.</carcinogenicity>
  <use-source>For the treatment of intestinal (i.e., nondisseminated) strongyloidiasis due to the nematode parasite &lt;i&gt;Strongyloides stercoralis&lt;/i&gt;. Also for the treatment of onchocerciasis (river blindness) due to the nematode parasite &lt;i&gt;Onchocerca volvulus&lt;/i&gt;. Can be used to treat scabies caused by &lt;i&gt;Sarcoptes scabiei&lt;/i&gt;. Active ingredient in some commercial ant bait traps. (L829)</use-source>

  <health-effects>Avermectins are neurotoxic and have reproductive and developmental effects. (L1826)</health-effects>
  <symptoms>Avermectins cause irritation of skin and eyes, central nervous system depression (incoordination, tremors, lethargy, excitation, pupil dilation, coma), vomiting, convulsions and/or tremors, and respiratory failure at high doses. (L1826) Adverse effects include muscle or joint pain, dizziness, fever, headache, skin rash, fast heartbeat.</symptoms>
