Ivermectin BP Vet is a potent, broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent widely used in veterinary medicine. It belongs to the avermectin family and works by disrupting nerve and muscle function in parasites, leading to paralysis and death. Ivermectin is highly effective against a range of internal and external parasites, including gastrointestinal worms, lungworms, mites, lice, and certain ticks. Available in oral, injectable, and topical forms, it is trusted for use in livestock, poultry, and companion animals. Its reliable efficacy, wide safety margin, and ease of administration make it an essential treatment in animal health and parasite control programs.
