How Ivermoon 12 mg Works

Ivermoon 12 mg works by targeting the nerve and muscle cells of parasites.

Mechanism of Action

• Ivermectin binds to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in parasites

• This increases chloride ion entry into the cells

• Parasite nerve cells become hyperpolarized

• The parasite becomes paralyzed and dies

• Dead parasites are eliminated naturally from the body

This action is effective against both adult parasites and larvae, supporting complete infection control.

For some conditions such as onchocerciasis, repeat dosing every 6–12 months may be recommended. Follow-up tests may be required to confirm parasite clearance.
