Liver Flukes • Fasciola (adults only)
Ivermectin have strong affinity to glutamate gated chloride ion channel of nerves and causes hyper-polarization of the nerve or muscles cells and resulting paralysis and killing of parasites. Clorsulon is rapidly absorbed into the circulating blood. Erythrocytes with bound drug as well as plasma are ingested by Fasciola. Adult Fasciola are killed by clorsulon because of inhibition of enzymes in the glycolytic pathway, which is their primary source of energy. Ivermectin is metabolized in the liver and its metabolites are excreted almost exclusively in the feces over an estimated 12 days with less than 1% of the administered dose excreted in the urine.
