What kind of medicine are Ivermectin tablets? What are the side effects?

Ivermectin tablets (Ivermectin) have a good repellent effect on internal and external parasites, especially arthropod insects and internal nematodes. It is mainly used to expel gastrointestinal nematodes, lungworms and external parasites. Its mechanism of action is to promote the release of r-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from the presynaptic nerve, thus opening the GABA-mediated chloride ion channel. The inflow of chloride ions reduces the cell membrane impedance and causes a slight super-supercharge of the resting potential of the postsynaptic membrane, thus interfering with the signal transmission between neuromuscles, causing relaxation and paralysis of the insect body, leading to the death of the insect body or being excreted from the body. So, what kind of medicine is it?

Ivermectin tablets are used as a broad-spectrum anthelmintic and insecticidal drug to treat neoascariasis in calves. The effect is reliable and the dosage is small. Existing experiments have confirmed that ivermectin tablets have an efficient anthelmintic effect on nematodes and arthropods in and out the body. One use of the drug can prevent and treat nematodes and spider entomopathies at the same time. It has the characteristics of multiple effects of one drug.
