Effectiveness
How Sklice Affects PatientsIvermectin is a semi-synthetic drug used to treat parasites. It belongs to a group of drugs called avermectins, which are derived from a bacteria found in soil. Avermectins are powerful and effective against many types of parasites.
How Sklice works in the bodyIvermectin binds to specific channels in nerve and muscle cells of parasites. This causes an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane, leading to paralysis and death. It is also believed to act as an agonist of the neurotransmitter GABA, stopping its ability to transmit signals. Ivermectin may also prevent _O. volvulus_ microfilariae from developing normally and releasing from the uterus of female worms.
