INTRODUCTION
The ability of ivermectin to deliver internal and external parasite
control has been proven
in cattle markets around the world. Now, Ivermax
Plus combines ivermectin with
clorsulon, an effective adult flukicide.

Plus (ivermectin and clorsulon) offers all the benefits of an
ivermectin injection plus control of adult _Fasciola hepatica._

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ivermax
Plus is a ready-to-use sterile solution containing 1% w/v ivermectin,
10%
clorsulon, 40% glycerol formal, and propylene glycol, q.s. ad 100%. It
is formulated to
deliver the recommended dose level of 200 mcg ivermectin/kg and 2 mg
clorsulon/kg
given subcutaneously behind the shoulder at the rate of 1 mL per 110
lb (50 kg) body
weight.
MODE OF ACTION
Ivermectin is a member of the macrocyclic lactone class of
endectocides which have a
unique mode of action. Compounds of the class bind selectively and
with high affinity to
glutamate-gated chloride ion channels which occur in invertebrate
nerve and muscle
cells. This leads to an increase in the permeability of the cell
membrane to chloride ions
with hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cell, resulting in
paralysis and death of the
parasite. Compounds of this class may also interact with other
ligand-gated chloride
channels, such as those gated by the neurotransmitter
gamma-aminobutyric acid
(GABA).
The margin of safety for compounds of this class is attributable to
the fact that
mammals do not have glutamate-gated chloride channels, the macrocyclic
lactones hav
