A Review of the Pharmacology and Clinical Uses of Ivermectin

Thomas B Barragry
PMCID: PMC1680605  PMID: 17422843

Abstract

The avermectins were introduced in 1981 and constitute a potent new class of anthelmintic agents. They are naturally-derived products of microbial action displaying an exceptionally wide range of antiparasitic efficacy against internal and external parasites of domestic animals. This paper reviews their isolation and chemistry, mechanism of action, chemical efficacy and safety in cattle, sheep, swine, horses and dogs.

Keywords: Ivermectin, anthelmintics, cattle, sheep, swine, horses, dogs, efficacy, safety
