Ivecop 12 mg Tablet

Ivecop 12 mg Tablet contains 12 mg of ivermectin in each tablet. It is an anthelmintic, or anti-worm medicine, used to treat certain parasitic infections when a doctor decides this strength is appropriate. Ivecop 12 mg Tablet is a prescription product made by A. Menarini India Pvt. Ltd. and comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Ivermectin works by interfering with nerve and muscle function in susceptible parasites, which paralyzes and kills them or stops them from multiplying. In tablet form, Ivecop 12 mg is swallowed so the medicine can be absorbed into the body and reach the parasites causing the infection.

Ivecop 12 mg Tablet is a higher-strength version than Ivecop 3 mg Tablet and Ivecop 6 mg Tablet, so it is usually chosen when a clinician wants fewer tablets to make up the prescribed dose or when the calculated dose fits this strength better. Because it is a 12 mg tablet, it is not the usual starting strength for everyone, and it should be used only after a doctor has assessed the infection, body weight, and overall health.

• Treatment of certain worm infections
• Treatment of some parasitic infestations
• Doctor-directed therapy for infections caused by susceptible parasites
• May be used for other parasitic conditions when prescribed

• Swallow Ivecop 12 mg Tablet with a full glass of water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly on the schedule your doctor prescribes; some conditions use a single dose, while others may need repeat dosing.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically tells you to.
• Take it on an empty stomach if your prescriber instructs you to do so, because food can affect absorption.
• Use the exact number of 12 mg tablets prescribed; do not combine extra tablets on your own to change the dose.
• If you miss a dose for a prescribed multi-dose regimen, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice rather than doubling up.

Each Ivecop 12 mg Tablet provides 12 mg of ivermectin. The dose may be taken once or repeated depending on the infection, but the exact schedule and maximum daily amount must be set by the doctor based on your condition and body weight. Do not take more than prescribed, because this higher-strength tablet is meant for individualized dosing rather than self-adjustment.

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