How to use

The dose and duration depend on your body weight and type of infection. Do not take more than prescribed. If multiple doses are needed, follow your doctor's schedule carefully. Complete the full course even if you feel better.
How it works
Ivermectin works by interfering with the nerve and muscle function of parasites. It binds to specific channels in the parasite's nerve and muscle cells, causing paralysis and death of the parasites. The medicine increases the activity of certain neurotransmitters in parasites, leading to their inability to move, feed, or reproduce. The dead parasites are then naturally eliminated from the body.
