Iverzine 6 mg 24 tablets
Composition
Each tablet contains ivermectin 6 mg.
Excipients include Avicel, sodium starch glycolate, aerosil, and magnesium stearate.
Product Description
Ivermectin is a broad‑spectrum antiparasitic agent used in both medicine and veterinary practice.
It disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses in parasites, leading to paralysis and death.
The tablets are highly effective against roundworms but do not eliminate tapeworms or flukes.
Ivermectin is also used for scabies and pediculosis in individuals with intact immunity.
The drug is rapidly absorbed and reaches maximum blood concentration within four hours.
It is evenly distributed in tissues, enters the eyes in limited amounts, and is eliminated mainly through the intestines within twenty‑eight hours.
Despite its wide spectrum of action, the toxicity of the drug is relatively low when dosage recommendations are followed.
