Pharmaceutical Properties
Atlamec contains the active ingredient Ivermectin which belongs to the class of drugs known as antiparasitic agents and is used to treat certain parasitic infections in humans and animals.
Ivermectin is an antiparasitic of the avermectin family with great activity on both internal and external parasites of domestic animals (endectocide). Ivermectin acts on nematodes and arthropods through gamma amino-butyric acid (GABA). It causes its release by the membrane presynaptic and potentiates its binding to receptors located on the postsynaptic membrane. GABA is a neurotransmitter involved in the transmission of messages inhibitors between the inter-neuron and the motor neuron in nematodes, and between the fiber nerve and muscle cell in arthropods.
At recommended doses, ivermectin is very well tolerated in both adult and young animals and can be used at all stages of gestation. Ivermectin is not active against fluke and tapeworms.
