This product description provides comprehensive information about Ivermectol 12mg, including its composition, mechanism of action, therapeutic applications, dosage considerations, and important safety information for healthcare professionals.

What is Ivermectol 12 mg?

Ivermectol 12 mg is a medication available to patients that has ivermectin as a parasiticide medication effective in the body against parasites. It is available as 12 milligrams of ivermectin as the active ingredient used against parasitic infections. The tablets are typically off-white or white in color and may be scored with a line to make them breakable into two halves if required.

This drug acts by targeting specifically parasites that infect human beings. While ivermectin was originally developed for animals, doctors now prescribe some medications like Ivermectol 12 mg to cure some parasitic infections in human beings when found appropriate.

How Does Ivermectol 12 mg Work?

Ivermectol 12 mg has a very precise mode of action. When used with this medicine, the ivermectin component targets the nervous system of parasitic organisms and not the human cells. In this way, it induces paralysis of parasites by influencing individual channels of parasitic muscle and nerve cells.

Let’s consider the following analogy: the drug is like a key that will only fit a single lock in parasitic cells. When the “key” fits into the “lock,” it causes the paralysis in the parasites that will eventually kill them, not touching human cells since they don’t contain these specific “locks” inside them.

What Are Ivermectol 12 mg Treatments For?

Ivermectol 12 mg is utilized by physicians to treat various types of parasitic infections:

Intestinal strongyloidiasis.

This is a disease caused by tiny roundworms called Strongyloides stercoralis that you can carry within your intestines for decades. Some of the symptoms you will experience include stomach pain, diarrhea, and rashes.

River Blindness (Onchocerciasis)

The illness is brought about by a parasitic worm that may destroy the eyes and skin. It’s also known as “river blindness” because it often starts in villages situated near fast rivers where the black flies that carry it are found.

Severe scabies.

Scabies is caused by small mites that tunnel into your skin and make you itch hard. Common scabies can usually be treated with creams, but in extreme cases (sometimes referred to as crusted or Norwegian scabies) oral medication such as Ivermectol 12 mg will be required in addition to creams.

Other Parasitic Infections

In other cases, doctors might recommend Ivermectol 12 mg for other types of parasitic diseases, depending on your own case and medical history.

Administration Method of Ivermectol 12 mg

• Proper use of this medication is crucial for it to work.
• Ivermectol 12 mg must be taken as directed by your doctor.
• It is usually given as a single dose in a glass of water.

Anticipated Outcomes upon Consumption of Ivermectol 12 mg

After the use of this drug, the recovery time depends on the nature of the infection that caused the symptoms.

For intestinal infection, improvement is to be anticipated within a couple of days

For diseases such as scabies, itching may start to resolve within 24-48 hours, but full recovery takes time.

For river blindness, the medication acts fast but full recovery can take weeks.

It is very important to note that, although your health turns around suddenly, the parasites have not necessarily been completely eliminated. Therefore, you should adhere to your doctor‘s follow-up regimen.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ivermectol 12 mg

Q: Are Ivermectol 12 mg products the same as ivermectin animal products?
A: No. Although both are the same as far as their active ingredient is concerned (ivermectin), Ivermectol 12 mg is specifically for human use. Animal medications are very different from human medications and cannot be ingested by people. Dosage, ingredients, and quality vary between the two categories.

Q: How rapidly does Ivermectol 12 mg work?

A: It depends on the condition. For intestinal parasites, relief may be noticeable in 2-7 days. For scabies, itching may begin to cease within 24-48 hours, but complete elimination takes 1-2 weeks. For river blindness, action begins within days, but optimal effect can take weeks.

Q: Do I need to take more than one dose of Ivermectin 12mg? 

A: That will depend on your specific case. Some infections, for instance, require only one dose, while others (like heavy scabies infestation) can require several doses over weeks. Your doctor will advise you individually in your case.

Q: Should Ivermectol 12 mg be taken with or without food? 

A: Ivermectol 12 mg is generally recommended to be taken with a meal containing some fat, as this improves the absorption of the drug by the body.

Q: Is the Ivermectol 12 mg tablet breakable if my physician prescribed a dosage less than 12 mg?

A: If the tablet has a score line (a break line), it is designed to be broken in half when it is needed. However, tablets should only be broken on your doctor‘s express recommendation. Splitting the tablet using a pill splitter is a better option than breaking the tablet in half manually to ensure correct dosage delivery.

Q: What should I do if I miss a dose? 

A: Call your doctor right away for directions. Since this medication is most often administered as a one-time dose or on specific days, your doctor will need to advise you when to take the missed dose.

Q: How soon can I wait until I can determine if I need further care? 

A: It depends upon the condition. Your doctor will decide a proper follow-up plan based on your specific infection and how well you react to therapy. Call your doctor if there are persisting or increasing symptoms after therapy.
