Ivermectin 12mg Tablets

Ivermectin 12 mg Tablets are a prescription oral medication used to treat various parasitic infections in humans. The active ingredient, ivermectin, works by binding to specific receptors in parasites' nerve and muscle cells, causing paralysis and death of the parasites, which are then naturally expelled from the body. It is commonly prescribed for intestinal worm infections such as strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis (river blindness), as well as certain skin conditions caused by parasites, like scabies. The tablets are usually taken orally with water on an empty stomach or as directed by a healthcare professional, and the dosage depends on the patient's weight, age, and type of infection. Common side effects may include dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, or mild skin reactions, while rare but serious effects—such as allergic reactions or neurological symptoms—require immediate medical attention. Ivermectin should be used strictly under medical supervision, and the full prescribed course must be completed to ensure effective treatment and prevent reinfection.
