Univer Tablet 12 mg contains Ivermectin, a broad-spectrum antiparasitic medication used for the treatment of various parasitic infections. Ivermectin works by paralyzing and eliminating parasites by targeting their nerve and muscle cells. It is highly effective against infections caused by roundworms, threadworms, and other sensitive parasitic organisms.

Univer Tablet 12 mg is commonly prescribed for conditions such as strongyloidiasis, onchocerciasis (river blindness), and other systemic or intestinal parasitic infections. By eradicating the parasites, it helps relieve symptoms, prevents complications, and reduces the risk of disease transmission.

The tablet form allows for convenient oral administration, and depending on the infection type and patient’s weight, it may be taken as a single dose or a short treatment course under medical supervision.

Composition

Each tablet contains:
Ivermectin – 12 mg

Indications

Univer Tablet 12 mg is indicated for:

• Treatment of onchocerciasis (river blindness)

• Strongyloidiasis (threadworm infection)

• Other parasitic infections as directed by a healthcare professional

• Prophylactic use in endemic areas under medical supervision

This dosage is particularly suitable for adults or patients requiring a higher dose based on body weight.

Mechanism of Action

Ivermectin acts by binding to glutamate-gated chloride channels in the nerve and muscle cells of parasites. This increases the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions, leading to hyperpolarization, paralysis, and death of the parasite.

Because Ivermectin selectively targets parasite cells, therapeutic doses are generally safe for humans with minimal side effects.

Dosage and Administration

Univer Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional:

• The dose depends on the patient’s body weight, age, and the type of parasitic infection.

• Tablets are taken orally with water, preferably on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.

• Single-dose treatment is typical for certain infections, while others may require repeated doses.

• Complete the prescribed course to ensure full eradication of the parasites.
