Ivermectin Liquid Solution

Description

Ivermectin Liquid Solution is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic treatment designed for sheep, goats, horses and cattle. It is particularly effective against gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, sucking lice, mange mites, and nasal bots. Available in two strengths—0.1% and 0.8%—this solution provides flexibility for dosing based on the specific needs of different animals. Ivermectin works by interfering with the nerve and muscle functions of parasites, leading to their paralysis and eventual death.
