Description: 

Ivermectin is a medication that is effective against many types of parasites. It is used to treat head lice, scabies, river blindness, strongyloidiasis, and lymphatic filariasis, among others. Ivermectin and other avermectins (insecticides most frequently used in home-use ant baits) are macrocyclic lactones derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. Ivermectin kills by interfering with nervous system and muscle function, in particular by enhancing inhibitory neurotransmission. Ivermectin is a mixture of mostly avermectin H2B1a (CAS# 71827-03-7) with some avermectin H2B1b (CAS# 70209-81-3), which are macrolides from STREPTOMYCES avermitilis.
