Ivermectin works by causing paralysis of the parasites that are affected by the medication.
Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight.
If a dose is missed, consult your veterinarian. Missed dosage can leave animals unprotected from heartworm infection.
Overdose can occur at high doses in any animal and can cause signs of neurological impairment due to the drug crossing the blood brain barrier. There are also several breeds of dogs that cannot tolerate ivermectin and will show signs of toxicity at a normal dose.
Ivermectin may interact with the following drugs: * Ketoconazole * Cyclosporin * Itraconazole * Calcium channel blockers
At high doses, safety in pregnant and lactating animals has not been evaluated.
