Ivermectin

Overview

Basic Info

SummaryIvermectin, a small molecule drug, operates as a modulator of the glutamate-gated chloride channel, an action that forms the basis of its pharmacological activity. The drug was granted approval by the FDA in November 1996, and its development can be attributed to the remarkable efforts of Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. Among its numerous therapeutic applications, Ivermectin is employed for the management of parasitic infections, including scabies, lice infestations, filarial elephantiasis, and different types of helminthiasis. Furthermore, it has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of rosacea, a perturbing skin condition characterized by inflammation. Ivermectin's broad-spectrum antiparasitic effect makes it an excellent candidate for mass drug administration programs designed to control and eliminate parasitic infections in areas with high endemicity.
