Approved Uses in Humans
It works by interfering with the nerve and muscle functions of parasites. It binds to specific channels in their cells, leading to paralysis and death. In mammals, these channels are located in the central nervous system, where the drug typically cannot reach because it does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier.
What is it used for?
Specifically used to treat strongyloidiasis (an intestinal infection caused by threadworms) and onchocerciasis (river blindness).
