  • Ivermectin Iverheal 12mg is a medication widely used to treat parasitic infections in humans and animals. It is an antiparasitic agent belonging to the avermectin family, which works by binding to specific chloride channels in the nerve and muscle cells of parasites, causing paralysis and death. In humans, ivermectin is approved for the treatment of conditions like onchocerciasis (river blindness), lymphatic filariasis, and strongyloidiasis. It is also effective against scabies, head lice, and other ectoparasites.


    Ivermectin is generally taken orally in tablet form or applied topically, depending on the condition being treated. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it valuable in veterinary medicine, where it is used to treat a range of parasites in livestock and pets, such as worms, mites, and ticks.

     

    Ivermectin is typically well-tolerated, but side effects like dizziness, nausea, or skin rash can occur. It should be used under medical guidance to avoid misuse, particularly as resistance among parasites to this drug is an emerging concern.
