What is Iverheal 12mg?

Iverheal 12mg is a potent antiparasitic medication containing Ivermectin as the active ingredient. It is primarily used to treat various parasitic infections in humans caused by worms, mites, and lice. The 12mg strength is typically prescribed for adults or patients requiring a higher dose, depending on body weight and severity of infection.

Medical Uses of Iverheal 12mg

Iverheal 12mg is commonly used to treat:

• Intestinal strongyloidiasis (infection by Strongyloides stercoralis)
• Onchocerciasis (river blindness caused by Onchocerca volvulus)
• Scabies (especially in crusted or resistant cases)
• Pediculosis (head lice)
• Filariasis and other systemic parasitic infections (based on physician’s recommendation)

How It Works

Ivermectin targets glutamate-gated chloride channels in the parasite’s nerve and muscle cells, leading to an influx of chloride ions. This disrupts normal nerve function, causing paralysis and death of the parasite. It is selective to parasites and does not affect human nerve cells in therapeutic doses.

Dosage and Administration

• Typical Dosage: One 12mg tablet may be taken as a single dose or as prescribed by a doctor, based on the patient’s body weight and the type of infection.
• How to Take: Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water, preferably on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal).
• Repeat Doses: For some conditions, a second dose may be required after a few days.
