Description
Intermectin Pour-On is an antiparasitic product, which is highly effective as an endectocide against a large variety of parasites in cattle. Its active ingredient, ivermectin, is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic which acts by binding to the glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) regulated chloride channels of muscle and nerve cells in invertebrates, leading to hyperpolarisation of these cells and ultimately causing paralysis and death of the parasite.
