Composition:
Each 1 ml contains:
- Moxidectin: 10 mg
Properties:
The primary mode of action of avermectins like moxidectin is to affect chloride ion channel activity in the nervous system of nematodes and arthropods. The drug binds to receptors that increase membrane permeability to chloride ions. This inhibits the electrical activity of nerve cells in nematodes and muscle cells in arthropods and causes paralysis and death of the parasites. Avermectins also enhance the release of gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) at presynaptic neurons. GABA acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter and blocks the post-synaptic stimulation of the adjacent neuron in nematodes or the muscle fiber in arthropods. Avermectins are generally not toxic to mammals, since they do not have glutamategated chloride channels and these compounds do not readily cross the blood-brain barrier where mammalian GABA receptors occur.
Indications:
Cattle (Beef and Non-Lactating Dairy).
