Ivtin Tablet 12 mg contains Ivermectin, a broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent widely used for the treatment of various parasitic infections in humans. Ivermectin works by disrupting the nervous system of parasites, leading to paralysis and death, effectively eliminating both intestinal and tissue-dwelling parasites.

This higher-strength formulation is suitable for adults or patients requiring a larger dose based on body weight or the severity of the parasitic infection. Ivtin Tablet 12 mg is effective in both single-dose therapy and multi-dose regimens under medical supervision.

Indications

Ivtin Tablet 12 mg is indicated for the treatment of:

• Intestinal parasitic infections, such as ascariasis, strongyloidiasis, and trichuriasis

• Ectoparasitic infestations, including scabies and lice

• Onchocerciasis (river blindness)

• Other parasitic infections as prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional

It is used in both individual therapy and community-wide parasitic control programs.

Mechanism of Action

Ivermectin selectively binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels in the nerve and muscle cells of parasites. This binding increases chloride ion permeability, causing hyperpolarization, paralysis, and eventual death of the parasite.

The drug acts selectively on parasites without affecting the human host at therapeutic doses, making it a safe and effective choice for systemic parasitic infections. Its oral absorption ensures distribution throughout the body to target both intestinal and tissue-residing parasites.

Dosage and Administration

• The dose of Ivtin Tablet 12 mg depends on the patient’s body weight and the type of infection.

• For adults, it may be administered as a single dose or repeated doses for certain infections, as determined by the physician.

• Take the tablet orally with water, preferably on an empty stomach.

• Adhere strictly to the prescribed regimen to ensure complete eradication of the parasites.

Precautions

Before taking Ivtin Tablet 12 mg, inform your doctor if you have:

• Liver or kidney impairment

• Allergic reactions to Ivermectin or other medications

• Neurological disorders

• Pregnant or breastfeeding conditions

Patients should avoid self-medication, as improper dosing may reduce effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects. Ivermectin may interact with other drugs, so a full disclosure of current medications is essential.

Use in Pregnancy and Lactation

Ivermectin should only be used during pregnancy if clearly necessary and prescribed by a healthcare professional. It is generally not recommended during breastfeeding unless advised by a physician.
