At a pharmacological level, it manages glutamate-gated chloride channels in the nerve and muscle cells of invertebrates. This mechanism induces paralysis and death of the parasite, providing a method for managing both internal and external challenges. Your veterinarian will determine appropriateness based on species, weight and diagnostic findings.
