The anthelmintic, Milbemycin oxime also one of the macrocyclic lactones, acts as an agonist of the GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) neurotransmitter in the nerve cells and also combines with glutamate-gated

chloride channels in nerve and muscle cells of invertebrates.

It blocks the mediation of neuronal signals of the parasites and paralyzes them and get them excreted out of the body, or starves them to die. The drug also affects the breeding of many parasites by reducing the tendency to lay eggs or causing abnormal ovulation.

Milbemycin Oxime eliminates the infectious microfilariae in the bloodstream transmitted through a mosquito bite and prevents heartworm infection.
