Mechanism and Application of Ivermectin in Antiviral Therapy
What is Ivermectin?
Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic medication which has been used for several parasitic infections. Developed first in the 1970s, it was praised for treating parasitic disease, such as river blindness (onchocerciasis), lymphatic filariasis and scabies. It's part of a group of drugs called avermectins, made from the bacterium
Streptomyces avermitilis. During the years, ivermectin proved to be effective in other parasitic diseases and even in veterinary medicine in treating animals with parasitic infections.
Ivermectin was originally used to treat parasitic infections, but its use in other fields, such as antiviral treatment – has expanded over the past few years. Medicinal scientists studied ivermectin for its role in viral infection, particularly in emerging illnesses such as COVID-19. That enthusiasm for ivermectin's antiviral activity has led to controversy and research into how it works and
does so effectively against a variety of viruses.
