Ivermectin 6 mg is an antiparasitic medicine used in humans to treat certain parasitic infections under medical supervision. It works by interfering with the nerve and muscle function of parasites, leading to their paralysis and death. In humans Ivermectin 6 mg is commonly prescribed for infections such as strongyloidiasis (intestinal roundworm infection) and onchocerciasis(river blindness). It may also be used for other parasitic conditions like scabies, head lice , and cutaneous larva migrans, depending on a doctor’s advice. The 6 mg tablet strength allows healthcare providers to adjust the total dose according to a person’s body weight and the type of infection being treated. Ivermectin is usually taken orally, often as a single dose or in a short treatment course. It is typically advised to take the tablet on an empty stomach with water, unless directed otherwise by a doctor.While ivermectin is generally well tolerated, some people may experience side effects such as dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, headache, or mild skin reactions. More serious side effects are rare but possible, especially in people with heavy parasite loads or underlying medical conditions. Ivermectin should only be used when prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional and should not be taken for unapproved or self-medicated purposes. Always follow medical guidance for safe and effective use.
