How COVERMECT 12MG TAB Works
Ivermectin is an antiparasitic that binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels in parasites, increasing chloride influx and causing paralysis and death of the parasite. It has minimal effect on humans at recommended doses due to limited penetration into the CNS.
Dosage & Directions
