Ivermectin primarily targets and affects the nervous system of parasites, including various types of worms and certain ectoparasites (parasites that live on the outside of the body). It works by binding to specific receptors known as glutamate-gated chloride channels (GluCls) present in nerve and muscle cells of parasites.

By interacting with these receptors, ivermectin disrupts the normal functioning of neurotransmitters like gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the parasite's nervous system. This disruption leads to an increase in chloride ion influx into the nerve and muscle cells, causing hyperpolarization and paralysis of the parasites.Buy Ivermectin Cream UK is used in the treatment of Rosacea, and Parasitic Skin infections.

The exact targets of ivermectin can vary depending on the type of parasite. For example, in the case of parasitic worms (nematodes), ivermectin targets their nervous system and musculature, leading to paralysis and ultimately their elimination from the body. In the case of certain ectoparasites like lice and mites, ivermectin affects their nervous system, leading to paralysis and death.
