Iverkem 3 mg Tablet

Iverkem 3 mg Tablet is a prescription anthelmintic medicine that contains 3 mg of ivermectin in each tablet. It is used to treat certain parasitic worm and mite infections, depending on the diagnosis made by a healthcare professional. As an anti-worm medicine, Iverkem 3 mg Tablet works by targeting parasites in the body so they can be cleared out. The exact treatment plan depends on the infection being treated and the doctor's instructions.

How it works: Ivermectin in Iverkem 3 mg Tablet binds to nerve and muscle channels in susceptible parasites, causing paralysis and death of the parasite. The tablet form makes it easy to take by mouth while the medicine is absorbed into the body to act against the infection.

Iverkem 3 mg Tablet is a lower-strength tablet that allows dosing to be adjusted more precisely for different body weights and treatment plans. Because each tablet contains 3 mg of ivermectin, a doctor may prescribe multiple tablets at once or on a specific schedule rather than a single fixed dose. This strength is chosen when a prescriber wants flexible tablet-based dosing for an assessed patient.

• Certain intestinal worm infections
• Strongyloidiasis
• Onchocerciasis (river blindness)
• Other parasitic infections when prescribed by a doctor
• Some mite-related infestations, depending on medical advice

• Swallow the Iverkem 3 mg Tablet with a glass of water unless your doctor gives different directions.
• Take it exactly on the day and schedule prescribed; the number of tablets depends on your weight and condition.
• It may be taken on an empty stomach or with food, but follow your prescriber’s instructions for your specific infection.
• Do not chew or crush the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor tells you to do so.
• If your treatment requires more than one tablet, take only the prescribed amount; do not repeat doses on your own.
• Complete the full course if your doctor has prescribed more than one dose.

Each Iverkem 3 mg Tablet provides 3 mg of ivermectin per tablet. The number of tablets and how often they are taken depend on the infection being treated, your body weight, and your doctor’s directions; in many cases it is given as a single dose, but some infections require repeat dosing. There is no fixed maximum daily dose for every patient because the prescriber individualizes the regimen, so do not self-dose or take extra tablets.

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