title: Neuropharmacological effects of ivermectin in mice.
abstract: Neuropharmacological effects (Spontaneous locomotor activity, forced locomotor activity and anticonvulsant activity) of invermectin were studied at 400, 800 and 1600 micrograms/kg (administered, subcutaneously). Spontaneous locomotor activity was reduced at all the dose levels but forced locomotor activity was slightly reduced at 800 and 1600 micrograms/kg. The drug did not exhibit any anticonvulsant potential at any of the dose levels studied.
