How the research connects to the formula

The catalog combines ivermectin 0.88% with oxymetazoline 0.88% and niacinamide 4%. The exact blend differs from a single-ingredient topical preparation and from ivermectin administered by another route.

That distinction is useful when comparing studies across the formula. Each paper’s condition, route, concentration and measured outcome identify the part of the product question it can address.
