Iver-Rad 12 mg Tablet

Iver-Rad 12 mg Tablet is an oral anthelmintic medicine that contains 12 mg of ivermectin in each tablet. It is used to treat certain parasitic worm and mite infections, depending on the condition and the prescriber’s instructions. This product comes as a tablet for swallowing, making it a convenient prescription option for adults and other patients who have been assessed by a doctor. Iver-Rad 12 mg Tablet is not a general self-treatment medicine and should be used only for the infection and dose your clinician specifies.

How it works: Ivermectin works by interfering with nerve and muscle function in susceptible parasites, which helps stop them from moving, feeding, and surviving. Because Iver-Rad 12 mg Tablet is taken by mouth, the medicine is absorbed into the body and works systemically against the infection your doctor is treating.

The 12 mg strength is a higher-dose ivermectin tablet, so it is usually chosen when the prescribed amount matches a full 12 mg tablet or when a doctor needs a convenient tablet-based regimen. Compared with lower-strength tablets, Iver-Rad 12 mg Tablet can reduce the number of tablets needed for a dose, but it is not meant to be split into a different treatment plan without medical guidance. A clinician may select this strength based on body weight, the infection being treated, and the exact dosing schedule.

• Treatment of certain intestinal worm infections
• Treatment of some parasite-related skin infestations
• Prescription management of specific parasitic infections
• Anti-worm therapy directed by a healthcare professional

• Swallow Iver-Rad 12 mg Tablet with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly on the day and at the time prescribed; some conditions use a single dose, while others may need repeat dosing.
• Use the full tablet only as directed; do not change the dose on your own because this is a 12 mg tablet.
• Follow food instructions from your prescriber, since some ivermectin regimens are taken on an empty stomach and others with food.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose unless your doctor tells you to.
• If you are unsure how to use Iver-Rad 12 mg Tablet, ask your pharmacist or prescriber before taking it.

Each Iver-Rad 12 mg Tablet provides 12 mg of ivermectin. Depending on the infection and your body weight, the medicine may be taken as a single dose or repeated on a schedule your doctor chooses; the maximum amount per day should be set by your prescriber, not self-adjusted. Because this is a higher-strength tablet, the exact dose must be individualized and should only be used under medical supervision.

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