Mechanisms of IVERMECTIN 12 MG tablets
This tablet falls in the category of antiparasitic drug and this drug is very effective in treating the situation which is caused by parasites. This tablet is taken orally and then gets absorbed in the tissue and then went to the affected part of the body and there it attacks the nerve system of the parasites. The nerve system is a very important system for any organism because this system is required by the organisms to share information and to perform certain vital functions without this system the organisms cannot survive. This tablet performs two modes of action to destroy the nerve system of the parasite, the first one is GABA Receptor Agonist and the second one is Glutamate Receptor Modulation.
In GABA receptor agonists, this medication binds with glutamate-gated chloride channels which is an essential part of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). And this process creates an influx of chloride ions in the parasite’s nerve system and which creates a problem for the parasite by polarizing the cell membrane of the parasite. This situation leads to paralysis of the parasite and kills it because GABA is a neurotransmitter inhibitor. And the other way this medication kills these parasites is through Glutamate Receptor Modulation. In this mode of action, it also modulates glutamate-gated chloride channels by blocking this receptor in the parasite this drug creates the problem of excitatory neurotransmitters in parasites which leads to their paralysis and then they die.
