Iverjohn 12 mg

Iverjohn 12 mg

Iverjohn 12 mg is a potent oral antiparasitic medication containing Ivermectin, widely used for the treatment and management of various internal and external parasitic infections. As a trusted anthelmintic, Iverjohn 12 mg provides rapid and effective relief from intestinal worms, scabies, lice, and other parasitic infestations. Its high efficacy and safety profile make it a preferred choice for healthcare professionals worldwide, offering reliable parasite control for both adults and children under medical supervision.

Parasitic infections can significantly affect overall health, causing symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, fatigue, skin irritation, and malnutrition. Iverjohn 12 mg works by targeting the nervous system of parasites, causing paralysis and death. Once immobilized, the parasites are naturally expelled from the body, restoring digestive health and improving overall well-being. This dosage strength is particularly suitable for moderate to severe infestations or when a standard dose is insufficient to provide effective parasite clearance.

Mechanism of Action

Iverjohn 12 mg acts by binding selectively to glutamate-gated chloride channels in the nerve and muscle cells of parasites. This increases the permeability of the cell membranes to chloride ions, causing hyperpolarization, paralysis, and eventual death of the parasites. Ivermectin does not readily cross the human blood-brain barrier at therapeutic doses, ensuring safety for the patient when taken as prescribed.

This dual action ensures that parasites are effectively paralyzed and eliminated from the intestines as well as from other tissues where they may reside. The systemic effect of Iverjohn 12 mg ensures comprehensive parasite clearance, reducing the risk of reinfection.

Uses and Indications

Iverjohn 12 mg is prescribed for the treatment of a wide range of parasitic conditions, including:

• Intestinal worms: roundworms, threadworms, whipworms, and other gastrointestinal parasites

• Scabies and skin infestations caused by mites

• Head lice and other external parasitic infections

• Onchocerciasis (river blindness) in endemic regions

• Preventive treatment in areas with a high prevalence of parasitic infections

This tablet is especially recommended for patients requiring effective parasite control with a convenient, high-strength oral dosage.

Dosage and Administration

Iverjohn 12 mg should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. The tablet is administered orally, with or without food. Dosage depends on the type of infection, the patient’s body weight, and overall health condition. Strict adherence to the prescribed regimen is essential for optimal results. Self-medication or dose adjustment without medical supervision can reduce efficacy and increase the risk of side effects.

Safety and Precautions

Iverjohn 12 mg is generally well tolerated. Common side effects include mild nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, or headache. Severe side effects, such as allergic reactions or neurological symptoms, are rare but may occur in patients with high parasite loads or pre-existing medical conditions.

Patients with liver or kidney disease, neurological disorders, or hypersensitivity to Ivermectin should consult a healthcare professional before using this medication. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use Iverjohn 12 mg under strict medical supervision. Maintaining hygiene and preventive measures is important to avoid reinfection after treatment.

Storage Guidelines

Store Iverjohn 12 mg tablets in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat. Keep the tablets in their original packaging and out of reach of children. Do not use the medication beyond the expiration date indicated on the label.
