Vermact

Product Overview

Vermact is an antiparasitic medication containing Ivermectin as its active ingredient, available in dispersible tablet form. Recognized for its broad-spectrum efficacy, this medication effectively treats various parasitic infections. Its user-friendly dispersible formulation ensures convenient administration and optimal therapeutic outcomes against parasitic infestations.

Therapeutic Applications

Vermact is clinically indicated for:

• Intestinal strongyloidiasis (caused by Strongyloides stercoralis)
• Onchocerciasis (river blindness caused by Onchocerca volvulus)
• Scabies infestations (Sarcoptes scabiei)
• Pediculosis capitis (head lice caused by Pediculus humanus capitis)

Administration Guidelines

For optimal results:

1. Administer orally with water as prescribed by a healthcare provider
2. Consume on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after meals)
3. Adhere strictly to prescribed dosage and treatment duration

Mechanism of Action

Ivermectin exerts its parasiticidal effect by binding to glutamate-gated chloride channels in parasite nerve and muscle cells. This interaction increases cellular membrane permeability, disrupting neurotransmission and resulting in parasite paralysis and subsequent elimination. Vermact thus effectively controls parasitic infections while alleviating symptoms and preventing transmission.

Dosage Protocol

Dosage varies according to:

• Type and severity of parasitic infection
• Patient’s age and body weight

Treatment typically involves single or multiple doses over 1-several days. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized dosing recommendations.
