Does ivermectin affect the brain?

Ivermectin Iverheal 12mg primarily targets parasites by binding to glutamate-gated chloride channels, leading to paralysis and death of the parasite. However, in humans, these channels are mostly absent in the central nervous system (CNS), as the blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents ivermectin from reaching the brain in significant amounts.

Ivermectin does not typically affect the brain when used correctly, but high doses or genetic factors may increase the risk of neurological side effects. Always consult a healthcare professional before use.
