Avertol 3 mg Tablet

Avertol 3 mg Tablet is an oral anthelmintic medicine that contains 3 mg of ivermectin in each tablet. It belongs to the anti-worm class and is used to treat certain parasitic infections, including some intestinal and skin infestations caused by susceptible parasites. The exact infection, dose, and number of tablets depend on the parasite being treated and the prescriber’s instructions. Avertol 3 mg Tablet is meant for use only when a clinician has confirmed it is appropriate.

How it works: Ivermectin works by disrupting nerve and muscle function in susceptible parasites, which paralyzes them and helps the body clear the infection. In Avertol 3 mg Tablet form, the medicine is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract so it can circulate to where the parasite is affecting the body.

Avertol 3 mg Tablet is a standard 3 mg tablet strength, which allows a doctor to build the exact dose needed based on body weight and the infection being treated. Because there are no other strengths or forms in this brand line here, this tablet is used by counting tablets rather than switching to a different version of the medicine.

• Treatment of certain parasitic worm infections
• Management of some skin infestations caused by parasites
• Intestinal parasitic infections when prescribed by a doctor
• Parasitic infection treatment based on confirmed diagnosis

• Swallow Avertol 3 mg Tablet with a full glass of water unless your prescriber gives different directions.
• Take it exactly on the day and at the time your doctor tells you; the schedule depends on the infection.
• Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet unless your clinician or pharmacist tells you to.
• Take it on an empty stomach only if instructed, since food timing can matter for some prescriptions.
• Use the exact number of Avertol 3 mg tablets prescribed, since the total dose is often based on body weight.
• If you miss a dose, ask your doctor or pharmacist what to do rather than doubling up.

Each Avertol 3 mg Tablet provides 3 mg of ivermectin per tablet, so the prescribed dose may involve taking more than one tablet at a time. How often it is taken and the maximum number of tablets per day depend on the infection, your weight, and your doctor’s plan; do not self-adjust the dose.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
