Univer Tablet 6 mg contains Ivermectin, a broad-spectrum antiparasitic medication used to treat a variety of parasitic infections. Ivermectin works by binding to specific nerve and muscle cells in parasites, causing paralysis and eventual death of the organisms. It is highly effective against infections caused by roundworms, threadworms, and other parasites in humans.

Univer Tablet is commonly prescribed for conditions such as onchocerciasis (river blindness), strongyloidiasis, and other intestinal or systemic parasitic infections. By targeting parasites directly, Ivermectin helps alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, and reduce the risk of transmission.

This medication is taken orally in tablet form and is usually administered as a single dose or a short course, depending on the type and severity of the infection. Univer Tablet provides fast, effective relief from parasitic infections when used as directed by a healthcare professional.

Composition

Each tablet contains:
Ivermectin – 6 mg

Indications

Univer Tablet 6 mg is indicated for:

• Treatment of onchocerciasis (river blindness)

• Strongyloidiasis (threadworm infection)

• Other parasitic infections as prescribed by a physician

• Prophylactic use in endemic areas under medical supervision

It is effective against both intestinal and tissue-dwelling parasites sensitive to Ivermectin.

Mechanism of Action

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

Because Ivermectin selectively targets parasitic cells, it has minimal effects on human cells at therapeutic doses, making it safe and effective for clinical use.

Dosage and Administration

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

• The usual dose is based on the patient’s body weight and the type of parasitic infection.

• Tablets are taken orally with water, usually on an empty stomach for better absorption.

• Single-dose treatment is common, but certain infections may require repeated doses or a short course.
