Iverkind 12 Tablet DT

Iverkind 12 Tablet DT is a prescription antiparasitic medicine that contains ivermectin 12 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the anthelmintic, or anti-worm, class and is used to treat certain parasitic worm and mite infections when a clinician decides it is appropriate. The exact use depends on the infection being treated and local treatment guidance, because ivermectin is not for routine self-treatment.

How it works: Ivermectin works by interfering with nerve and muscle function in susceptible parasites, which helps stop them from surviving and reproducing. As a tablet, Iverkind 12 Tablet DT is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract so the medicine can travel in the body to act against the parasite.

Iverkind 12 Tablet DT is a higher-strength ivermectin tablet, so it is typically used only when a doctor has assessed the infection, body weight, and overall health. Compared with lower-strength ivermectin tablets, this 12 mg tablet may reduce the number of tablets needed for a prescribed dose, but the tablet strength does not mean the dose should be taken more often or in larger amounts.

• Certain intestinal worm infections
• Scabies
• Other parasite infections prescribed by a doctor
• Treatment as directed in a parasite-specific regimen

• Swallow Iverkind 12 Tablet DT with water unless your prescriber gives different directions.
• Take it exactly on the day and time prescribed; the schedule depends on the infection being treated.
• Do not crush or split the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically says it is okay.
• Food can affect absorption, so follow your prescriber’s instructions about taking it with or without food.
• Use the full prescribed number of tablets for the exact dose; do not guess based on symptoms.
• If you vomit soon after taking it, contact your prescriber for advice before taking another dose.

Each Iverkind 12 Tablet DT provides ivermectin 12 mg per tablet. The number of tablets and how often they are taken depend on the infection, body weight, and the prescriber’s plan; some conditions use a single dose, while others may require repeat dosing on a specific schedule. Do not take more than prescribed, and there is no standard over-the-counter maximum daily dose for this product because the doctor must set the regimen.

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