Ivermectin 12 mg (Iverheal) is an antiparasitic medication used to treat certain infections caused by parasites, such as intestinal worms, scabies, and some other parasitic conditions, depending on the diagnosis. It works by affecting the parasites’ nervous system, helping to eliminate them from the body. The correct dosage and duration depend on the type of infection, body weight, and medical history. Ivermectin should be taken only as directed by a qualified healthcare professional. Possible side effects include nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, and stomach discomfort. It should not be used to treat COVID-19 unless specifically recommended for an approved indication, as it is not an established treatment for COVID-19.
