N/A
Data and
interpretation:
Summaries data: N/A
Effects of Acute Eye Contact: Direct contact of the solution with eyes
Exposure: can cause irritation.
Skin Contact: Ivermectin is non-irritating in animal
studies. Although skin absorption of this formulation
of Ivermectin is not established, it has been shown
that less than 1% of the closely related compound
abamectin is absorbed through the skin of rhesus
monkeys when it is applied as emulsifiable concentrate
or suspended in alcohol.
Sodium selenate can irritate skin and mucous
membranes.
Inhalation: No toxicity has been observed by this route
of exposure to Ivermectin.

Product Name: IVOMEC Liquid with Selenium for Sheep & Goats Reviewed on: 10 Septermber 2007
Ingestion: Pure Ivermectin is considered highly toxic in
acute animal studies. The acute oral toxicity studies of
Ivermectin have shown clear differences among
species in sensitivity to Ivermectin toxicity. Rodents
are uniquely sensitive compared to the other species in
which the compound has been tested. It is therefore
inappropriate to base human risk assessment on the
response in mice. Ivermectin is used at a therapeutic
dose of 200 mcg/kg in a variety of species, including
human. Ivermectin can be excreted in milk.
If overexposed to Ivermectin, symptoms may include
decreased activity, slow rate of breathing, dilation of
the pupils, muscle tremors, and incoordination.
Rat acute oral dose of sodium selenate
LD50=2.5mg/kg. Human lowest harmful dose =
22mg/kg (liver and kidney damage).
Effect of Chronic Unknown for product mixture. When this product is
Exposure: used according to the directions, prolonged exposure
of man is not expected. Ivermectin has tested
negative in several mutagenicity studies. Ivermectin
was administered to dogs daily for 3 months and to
monkeys daily for 2 weeks. In dogs there was no
effect up to 500mcg/kg/day and in adult rhesus
monkeys there was no effect at the maximum dosage
used 1.2mg/kg/day. At higher doses in dogs there
was dilation of the pupils, and at still higher doses
tremor and anorexia were noted. Ivermectin can be
given during gestation in horses, cattle, pigs and
sheep.
SECTION 12: ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
The product contains materials that are harmful to the
Potential
environment. Do not allow undiluted product or large
environmental
quantities of it to reach ground water, water course or
interactions:
sewage system.
Ivermectin is very toxic to certain aquatic species.
Ivermectin photodegrades rapidly in the environment
and is metabolized in the soil. Water solubility is
limited and it binds to soil very tightly. It does not
bioconcentrate in fish and is not taken up from soil into
plants.
