Product Overview
Iverintas DT-12 is an antiparasitic medication containing Ivermectin as its active ingredient. This orally disintegrating tablet is specially designed for easy administration, particularly in pediatric cases. Each tablet delivers accurate dosing for effective treatment of parasitic infections. The formulation targets a broad spectrum of parasites, providing comprehensive relief from infestations. With its user-friendly dosage form and powerful antiparasitic action, Iverintas DT-12 serves as a dependable solution for various parasitic infections in patients of all ages.
Uses
Iverintas DT-12 is prescribed to treat parasitic infections caused by organisms including roundworms, threadworms, whipworms, and mites. It’s commonly used for conditions like onchocerciasis (river blindness), strongyloidiasis, and scabies. The medication works by paralyzing and ultimately killing parasites through disruption of their nervous system. Suitable for both adults and children, it offers versatile treatment options for parasitic diseases.
How to Use
Take Iverintas DT-12 by swallowing the tablet whole with water, either with or without food as directed by your physician. For children, the tablet can be crushed and mixed with food or liquid for easier consumption. Complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve before finishing the medication to ensure complete eradication of the infection.
How it Works
The active component Ivermectin works by binding to specific chloride channels in parasite nerve cells. This action causes excessive chloride influx and membrane hyperpolarization, leading to paralysis and death of the parasites. The medication selectively affects parasites while having minimal impact on human cells, ensuring effective treatment with reduced side effects.
Dosage and Administration
Dosage varies based on infection type and severity. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage and treatment duration. The tablet should be taken whole with water, though pediatric patients may take it crushed if necessary. Complete the entire treatment course to ensure full parasite elimination, even if symptoms improve earlier.
