Ivermectin 6 mg tablets are an antiparasitic medication widely used to treat various parasitic infections in humans. It works by paralyzing and killing certain parasites, thereby stopping their growth and reproduction in the body. This medicine is most commonly prescribed for intestinal strongyloidiasis (caused by Strongyloides stercoralis) and onchocerciasis (river blindness caused by Onchocerca volvulus). It may also be used off-label for other parasitic infections such as scabies, lice, and some forms of filariasis under medical supervision.
Ivecop 6mg tablets are typically taken as a single dose or as directed by a healthcare professional, depending on the type and severity of infection. In some cases, repeat dosing may be necessary to fully eliminate the parasites. The drug is usually taken on an empty stomach with water for better absorption. While ivermectin is effective and generally well tolerated, mild side effects such as dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, or skin rash may occur. Severe reactions are rare but possible, especially in individuals with heavy parasite loads. The medication should only be taken under the guidance of a doctor to ensure proper diagnosis, correct dosing, and safety for the specific condition being treated.
