⭐ How Iverjohn 6 mg Works 

Ivermectin acts on the neuromuscular system of parasites.

🔹 Step-by-Step Action

1️⃣ Binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels

Targets nerve and muscle cells in parasites.

2️⃣ Increases chloride ion permeability

Leads to cell hyperpolarization.

3️⃣ Causes paralysis and loss of function

Parasites cannot move, feed, or reproduce.

4️⃣ Parasite death & natural elimination

The immune system clears the immobilized organisms.

At therapeutic doses, ivermectin is selective for parasite receptors, minimizing human cell impact when used correctly.
