For Veterinary Use Only With a Perscription.
Oramectin solution is antiparasitic (ivermectin) used to treat internal & external parasites in cattle, sheep, goats and equine.
Composition
Each 1 ml Oramectin solution contains:
Ivermectin——————– 0.8 mg.
Properties
Ivermectin is an endectocide with activity against a wide range of internal and external parasites.
It enhances 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.
By stimulating the release of GABA, ivermectin causes paralysis of the parasite and eventual death.
