개요

이버멕틴은 다양한 수의학적 종에서 널리 사용되는 대표적인 아버멕틴계 항기생충제입니다. 광범위한 선충류 및 절지동물에 대해 높은 효능을 나타내는 매크로라이드계 유도체입니다.

주요 임상 특징:

FDA 승인 용도: 개와 고양이의 심장사상충 예방; 소, 돼지, 말, 순록, 들소의 위장관 선충, 폐충, 쇠파리 유충, 이, 진드기 치료.
허가 외 사용(Off-label): 미세사상충 구제제, 성충의 점진적 사멸(보통 독시사이클린과 병용), 소동물의 전신성 모낭충증 및 개선충(옴) 치료.
유전적 민감성: ABCB1-1Δ(과거 MDR1) 유전자 돌연변이에 취약한 품종(예: 콜리, 오스트레일리안 셰퍼드, 셔틀랜드 쉽독, 롱헤어드 휘펫 등)에는 극도의 주의가 필요합니다. 이 개들은 혈액뇌장벽의 P-당단백질 펌프 기능이 결여되어 있어, 모낭충이나 미세사상충 치료에 사용되는 일반적인 용량에서도 심각하고 치명적인 중추신경계 독성을 유발할 수 있습니다.
독성 프로파일: 심장사상충 예방을 위한 저용량에서는 일반적으로 안전하지만(MDR1 돌연변이 개 포함), 고용량이거나 P-당단백질 억제제와 병용할 경우 신경 독성 위험이 크게 증가합니다.

작용 기전

Ivermectin exerts its antiparasitic effect by binding selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride channels which occur in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells.

Primary Mechanism: Binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels → increases cell membrane permeability to chloride ions → hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cell → flaccid paralysis and death of the parasite.
Secondary Mechanism: Enhances the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at presynaptic neurons. GABA acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter → blocks post-synaptic stimulation → paralysis.

Pharmacology Pearl: Because flukes (trematodes) and tapeworms (cestodes) do not utilize GABA as a peripheral nerve transmitter and lack glutamate-gated chloride channels, ivermectin is completely ineffective against these parasites. Mammals generally lack glutamate-gated chloride channels, and mammalian GABA receptors are confined to the CNS, which ivermectin does not readily cross (unless the P-glycoprotein pump is defective or overwhelmed), providing a wide margin of safety.

안전성·주의사항

금기사항

Foals less than 4 months old (manufacturer recommendation)
Puppies less than 6 weeks old
Breeds susceptible to ABCB1-1Δ (MDR1) mutation at high doses (unless tested normal)
Chelonians (turtles, tortoises)
Indigo snakes
Skinks
Lactating dairy animals (no milk withdrawal established)
Females of breeding age (cattle/swine, per label)
Dogs with the MDR1 (ABCB1) gene mutation (unless using strictly at low heartworm preventative doses)
Chelonians (turtles and tortoises) - causes fatal flaccid paralysis
Kittens under 16 weeks of age (for topical ear gel)
Use of concentrated livestock formulations in small animals

부작용

Horses: Ventral midline swelling and pruritus (hypersensitivity to dying Onchocerca microfilariae)
Dogs: Shock-like reaction (when used as microfilaricide), depression, hypothermia, vomiting
Dogs (MDR1/Toxicity): Ataxia, lethargy, hypersalivation, mydriasis, tremors, seizures, blindness, coma
Cats: Agitation, vocalization, anorexia, mydriasis, rear limb paresis, tremors, disorientation, blindness
Cattle: Paralysis/staggering or salivation/bloat (if Hypoderma bovis larvae are killed in vital areas), injection site swelling
Birds: Lethargy, anorexia, death (especially in finches and budgerigars)
Neurotoxicity (ataxia, tremors, mydriasis, blindness, coma, death) - especially in MDR1-mutant dogs
Bradycardia

주의

MDR1 Gene Mutation Warning: Ivermectin is actively transported out of the CNS by the P-glycoprotein pump. Dogs with the ABCB1-1Δ (formerly MDR1) mutation have a defective pump, allowing ivermectin to accumulate in the brain, causing severe neurotoxicity. Always test susceptible breeds (Collies, Shelties, Australian Shepherds, Long-haired Whippets, 'white feet' breeds) before using extra-label high doses. Heartworm preventative doses are generally safe.

Species Sensitivities: Highly toxic to chelonians (turtles/tortoises), indigo snakes, and skinks. Finches and budgerigars are highly sensitive.
Cattle Grubs: Treating cattle for Hypoderma bovis when larvae are migrating through the spinal canal or esophagus can cause severe host reactions (paralysis or bloat) due to larval death in vital areas.
Food Animal Withdrawal: Strict adherence to slaughter withdrawal times is required. Not approved for lactating dairy animals.
Administration: Injectable products for cattle and swine are for SC use only; do not administer IM or IV.
