Mode of Action
Pediculicide derived from fermentation of a soil dwelling actinomycete, Streptomyces avermitilis
Causes parasite death by selective, high-affinity binding to glutamate-gated chloride channels located in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells; this results in increased cell membrane permeability to chloride ions with hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cells, and ultimately parasite paralysis and death
The mechanism by which ivermectin topical treats rosacea lesions is unknown
