What is Iverheal 3mg?

Iverheal 3mg is an antiparasitic medication containing Ivermectin as its active ingredient. It is primarily used to treat various parasitic infections affecting the intestinal tract, skin, and eyes. Ivermectin works by paralyzing and killing the parasites, thereby eliminating the infection.

Medical Uses of Iverheal 3mg

Iverheal 3mg is prescribed for the treatment of:

• Intestinal strongyloidiasis (a type of roundworm infection)

• Onchocerciasis (river blindness)

• Scabies (particularly in resistant or crusted cases)

• Pediculosis (head lice)

• Other parasitic infections as determined by a healthcare provider

How Does Iverheal 3mg Work?

Ivermectin, the active component in Iverheal 3mg, binds selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. This binding increases the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions, leading to hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cell, and ultimately resulting in the death of the parasite.

Dosage and Administration

• Dosage: The dosage of Iverheal 3mg is based on body weight and the type of infection. For example, for onchocerciasis, a single oral dose of 0.15 mg/kg is recommended. For strongyloidiasis, a single oral dose of 0.2 mg/kg is advised. The exact dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider.

• Administration: Take the tablet orally with a full glass of water on an empty stomach, preferably one hour before a meal. Swallow the tablet whole; do not chew, crush, or break it.
