Ivermectin Iverheal 12mg is an antiparasitic medication primarily used to treat a variety of parasitic infections. It works by inhibiting the nervous system of parasites, leading to their paralysis and death. Initially developed as an anti-parasitic agent for livestock, ivermectin was later adapted for human use and has since become an essential drug in the treatment of several parasitic conditions. In humans, ivermectin is commonly prescribed for the treatment of onchocerciasis (river blindness), lymphatic filariasis, and scabies, among other conditions. It is also used in the management of strongyloidiasis, trichuriasis, and cutaneous larva migrans. Additionally, ivermectin has proven effective in treating head lice and as a topical treatment for certain skin conditions like rosacea. Ivermectin is typically taken orally, but for certain conditions, it may be applied topically. The dosage and length of treatment depend on the specific infection being treated, and it is usually administered as a single dose, though repeated treatments may be necessary in some cases.
