Iverjohn 6mg (Ivermectin Tablet) 6 mg

Iverjohn 6mg is an antiparasitic medication used to treat a range of parasitic infections. It acts by targeting and eliminating parasites that cause various diseases.

• Onchocerciasis (River Blindness): Treats infections caused by the parasite Onchocerca volvulus, preventing vision loss and other complications.
• Strongyloidiasis: Effective against Strongyloides stercoralis, a threadworm that can cause intestinal infections and other health issues.
• Lymphatic Filariasis: Used in combination therapy to treat infections caused by Wuchereria bancrofti, which can lead to severe limb and tissue swelling.
• Scabies: Treats infestations by Sarcoptes scabiei mites, particularly when topical treatments have failed.
• Head Lice: An option for treatment-resistant cases of head lice infestations.

• Ivermectin works by binding to glutamate-gated chloride channels in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. This binding increases the influx of chloride ions, causing hyperpolarization, paralysis, and eventual death of the parasite. The drug specifically targets these channels, which are absent in human cells, ensuring selective action against parasites.
