Ivomec

What is Ivomec?

Ivomec is a veterinary medication commonly used to treat and control a variety of parasitic infections in animals. It contains ivermectin, a potent antiparasitic drug that works by interfering with the neurological systems of parasites. Ivomec is effective against worms, mites, lice, and other parasitic infestations in a range of animals, including cattle, sheep, and dogs. It can be administered orally, by injection, or topically, depending on the animal and the condition being treated.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Some individuals, particularly those who are sensitive to ivermectin or similar antiparasitic agents, may experience allergic reactions when exposed to Ivomec. Symptoms of intolerance may include skin rashes, dizziness, nausea, headaches, or respiratory issues. Prolonged exposure to ivermectin may cause neurological symptoms, such as tremors or seizures, in sensitive individuals, especially if the product is ingested or comes into prolonged contact with the skin.

What can I do about it?

If you are handling Ivomec, be sure to wear protective gloves, goggles, and a mask to minimize exposure. In case of contact with skin or eyes, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If symptoms of intolerance occur, seek medical attention. Alternatives to Ivomec for parasite control may include herbal or natural treatments, such as garlic or diatomaceous earth, though their effectiveness may vary.
