At a pharmacological level, it is considered to influence glutamate-gated chloride channels in the nerve cells of invertebrates, providing a method for addressing the parasite population. Commonly observed effects include localized changes at the injection site or temporary behavioral shifts. A significant clinical consideration for ivermectin is the genetic sensitivity (MDR1 mutation) associated with certain dog breeds; owners should ensure other animals do not ingest any spilled product. Contact your veterinarian promptly with any concerns regarding the patient's response.

You should take care to prevent dogs from ingesting ivermectin products designed for livestock. Certain breeds are associated with extreme sensitivity which may lead to observational signs of toxicity like tremors or vision changes.
Your veterinarian will determine the necessary frequency of use based on fecal egg count results and environmental risk factors. They will provide a specific monitoring schedule for your animal.
