Uses of Ivermectin Tablets

Ivermectin 12mg tablets are used to treat multiple parasitic infections, including:

• Onchocerciasis (River Blindness): Kills immature parasites, preventing skin disease, severe itching, and vision problems.

• Strongyloidiasis: Effective against the roundworm Strongyloides stercoralis, which can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rashes.

• Scabies: Targets mites that cause scabies, reducing itching, redness, and irritation.

• Lymphatic Filariasis: Helps prevent progression of this mosquito-borne disease, reducing swelling and discomfort.

• Other Parasitic Infections: Also used for hookworm, whipworm, and head lice infestations.

How Does Ivermectin Work?

Ivermectin is an anthelmintic (anti-parasitic drug). It works in the following steps:

1. Targeted Action: Selectively binds to nerve and muscle cells in parasites.

2. Paralysis: Causes paralysis by blocking parasite nerve signals.

3. Death: Immobilized parasites cannot feed or survive.

4. Elimination: The body naturally removes the dead parasites.
