Ivermectol 6mg Tablets

Description

Ivermectin tablets for humans, a well-known medicine, is widely used as an antiparasitic drug by the World Health Organization (WHO) in low- and middle-income countries to treat worm infections, scabies and lice. Ivermectin (0.2–0.4 mg/kg) is extremely safe for humans. . Ivermectin tablet can be used for various parasitic infections such as thread worm infestation, river blindness disease, round worm infestation, whipworm infestation, filariasis (also called elephantiasis), tropical eosinophilia, and loiasis. . Ivermectin tablets for humans are rapidly absorbed, reaching maximum plasma concentrations with a broad tissue distribution about 4 hours after a 12-mg dose. This drug immobilises affected organisms by inducing tonic paralysis of the musculature of the parasites by binding to the chloride ion channels of nerve or muscle cells. . Ivermectin tablet does not effectively kill adult worms, but blocks the release of microfilariae (minute larvae of a parasite causing filaria) for some months after therapy. After a single standard dose, microfilariae in the skin diminish rapidly within 2–3 days, remain low for months, and then gradually increase; microfilariae in the anterior chamber of the eye decrease slowly over months, eventually clear, and then gradually return. With repeated doses of ivermectin, the drug appears to have a low-level macrofilaricidalaction and to reduce microfilarial production permanently.
