Ivermectol 6 mg Tablet

Ivermectol 6 mg Tablet is an oral anthelmintic medicine that contains 6 mg of ivermectin in each tablet. It belongs to the anti-worm class and is used to treat certain parasitic worm and mite infections when prescribed by a doctor. This Ivermectol 6 mg Tablet is a prescription-strength option made by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and is not meant for self-treatment. The exact infection being treated depends on your diagnosis and local treatment guidelines.

How it works: Ivermectin in this tablet works by interfering with nerve and muscle function in susceptible parasites, which helps stop them from surviving. As the tablet is swallowed and absorbed, the medicine can help clear the infection when taken exactly as prescribed.

Ivermectol 6 mg Tablet is a mid-strength tablet that can be useful when a doctor wants a dose between the lower 3 mg tablet and the higher 12 mg tablet. Compared with the 3 mg tablet, each Ivermectol 6 mg Tablet provides more ivermectin per tablet, which may reduce the number of tablets needed for a prescribed dose; compared with the 12 mg tablet, it offers more flexible dose adjustment. Your doctor may choose this strength based on body weight, the infection being treated, and how the total dose is meant to be scheduled.

• Certain intestinal worm infections
• Strongyloidiasis
• Onchocerciasis
• Scabies
• Other parasite infections prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Ivermectol 6 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it on an empty stomach, usually at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after food, because food can affect absorption.
• Use only the number of 6 mg tablets your doctor prescribed; do not guess the dose based on the strip size.
• If a repeat dose is needed, follow the exact timing given by your prescriber; do not repeat on your own.
• Wash your hands after handling the tablet and follow any hygiene measures advised for parasitic infections.
• If your doctor also treats household contacts or recommends environmental cleaning, follow those instructions closely.

Each Ivermectol 6 mg Tablet contains 6 mg of ivermectin. The total dose and how often you take it depend on the infection, your body weight, and your prescriber’s plan; some infections need a single dose, while others may require a repeat dose later. Do not take more tablets per day than your doctor tells you, because the right maximum daily amount is individualized for this 6 mg strength.

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