Key Features

How Does Iverheal 12 mg Work?

Iverheal 12 mg binds to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. It results in an influx of chloride ions. This leads to paralysis and death of parasites by inducing the hyperpolarization of the nerve and muscle cells. Ivermectin is also a stimulator of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and interrupts GABA-mediated central nervous system (CNS) neurosynaptic transmission in parasites.
