투여 방법

가능한 부작용

• Horses: Ventral midline swelling and pruritus (hypersensitivity to dying Onchocerca microfilariae)
• Dogs: Shock-like reaction (when used as microfilaricide), depression, hypothermia, vomiting
• Dogs (MDR1/Toxicity): Ataxia, lethargy, hypersalivation, mydriasis, tremors, seizures, blindness, coma
• Cats: Agitation, vocalization, anorexia, mydriasis, rear limb paresis, tremors, disorientation, blindness
• Cattle: Paralysis/staggering or salivation/bloat (if Hypoderma bovis larvae are killed in vital areas), injection site swelling
• Birds: Lethargy, anorexia, death (especially in finches and budgerigars)
• Neurotoxicity (ataxia, tremors, mydriasis, blindness, coma, death) - especially in MDR1-mutant dogs
• Hypersalivation
• Vomiting
• Lethargy
• Bradycardia

주의사항 및 금기

• Foals less than 4 months old (manufacturer recommendation)
• Puppies less than 6 weeks old
• Breeds susceptible to ABCB1-1Δ (MDR1) mutation at high doses (unless tested normal)
• Chelonians (turtles, tortoises)
• Indigo snakes
• Skinks
• Lactating dairy animals (no milk withdrawal established)
• Females of breeding age (cattle/swine, per label)
• Dogs with the MDR1 (ABCB1) gene mutation (unless using strictly at low heartworm preventative doses)
• Chelonians (turtles and tortoises) - causes fatal flaccid paralysis
• Kittens under 16 weeks of age (for topical ear gel)
• Use of concentrated livestock formulations in small animals
• > **MDR1 Gene Mutation Warning:** Ivermectin is actively transported out of the CNS by the P-glycoprotein pump. Dogs with the ABCB1-1Δ (formerly MDR1) mutation have a defective pump, allowing ivermectin to accumulate in the brain, causing severe neurotoxicity. Always test susceptible breeds (Collies, Shelties, Australian Shepherds, Long-haired Whippets, 'white feet' breeds) before using extra-label high doses. Heartworm preventative doses are generally safe. * **Species Sensitivities:** Highly toxic to chelonians (turtles/tortoises), indigo snakes, and skinks. Finches and budgerigars are highly sensitive. * **Cattle Grubs:** Treating cattle for *Hypoderma bovis* when larvae are migrating through the spinal canal or esophagus can cause severe host reactions (paralysis or bloat) due to larval death in vital areas. * **Food Animal Withdrawal:** Strict adherence to slaughter withdrawal times is required. Not approved for lactating dairy animals. * **Administration:** Injectable products for cattle and swine are for **SC use only**; do not administer IM or IV.
