What is Ivermectin 12 mg?

Ivermectin 12 mg is an antiparasitic medicine that belongs to the class of anthelmintics. It works by paralyzing and killing the parasites that cause infections in the body. By removing these parasites, the medicine helps in relieving symptoms like itching, skin rashes, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Ivermectin 12 Uses

Doctors prescribe ivermectin 12 for a range of parasitic infections:

• Scabies – a skin condition caused by mites, leading to intense itching

• Strongyloidiasis – intestinal infection caused by roundworms

• Onchocerciasis (river blindness) – caused by parasitic worms

• Lymphatic filariasis – swelling of limbs due to parasitic infection

• Head lice infestations (in some cases)

• Other parasitic infections affecting the skin, eyes, and intestines

Ivermectin Mechanism of Action

Ivermectin tablet works by binding to the nerve and muscle cells of parasites:

1. Binding to Parasite Nerve and Muscle Cells

   • Ivermectin attaches to special proteins in the parasites known as glutamate-gated chloride channels.

   • These channels control nerve and muscle signals in the parasite’s body.

2. Increased Chloride Ion Flow

   • Once ivermectin binds, it increases the flow of chloride ions into the nerve and muscle cells of the parasite.

   • This causes hyperpolarization, which weakens the parasite’s nervous system.

3. Paralysis of Parasites

   • The parasites lose their ability to move, feed, or reproduce.

   • They become paralyzed and eventually die inside the host’s body.

4. Selective Action (Safe for Humans)

   • Ivermectin does not affect human nerve cells in the same way because our cells do not have the same type of chloride channels.

   • This makes it highly effective against parasites but safe for patients when taken in the recommended dose.

Ivermectin Dosage & How to Take

The ivermectin dosage depends on the type of infection, body weight, and doctor’s advice.

• Usually taken as a single oral dose with water.

• It is best taken on an empty stomach for maximum absorption.

• For scabies, sometimes an additional dose may be required after 1–2 weeks.

• Patients should not self-medicate and must follow the prescribed ivermectin dose strictly.
