Iverheal
Iverheal is an antiparasitic medication containing Ivermectin as the active pharmaceutical ingredient. It works by binding selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in invertebrate muscle and nerve cells, leading to increased permeability of cell membranes, hyperpolarization, and ultimately the death of the parasite.
