Medicine OverView
Ivercor 6mg Tablet contains Ivermectin 6 mg, a prescription antiparasitic tablet used to remove certain worms, mites, and parasite-related infections from the body. It is often prescribed when parasites affect the skin, digestive system, eyes, or bloodstream.
The 6 mg strength is commonly chosen when doctors need a moderate body-weight-based dose. Depending on the type of infection, one or more tablets may be prescribed.
Ivercor 6mg Tablet is not used to treat bacterial or viral infections.
Doctors may also prescribe repeat doses if the infection is difficult to clear completely.
Ivercor 6mg Tablet works by interfering with the nervous system of parasites. It blocks the signals that parasites need in order to move and survive. As a result, the parasites become paralyzed and die, allowing the body to remove them naturally.
As the parasites are removed, symptoms such as itching, skin irritation, stomach upset, or worm-related discomfort gradually improve.
Usual Dose: The exact dose depends on body weight and the condition being treated. Many adults are prescribed one or two 6 mg tablets as a single dose. Certain infections may require another dose after 7 to 14 days.
Missed Dose: If you miss a scheduled dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one. Do not take a double dose.
Overdose: Taking too much may cause nausea, severe dizziness, weakness, confusion, difficulty breathing, or fainting. Seek immediate medical help if overdose occurs.
