Vermact 3 Tablet DT

Vermact 3 Tablet DT is a tablet form of ivermectin, with each tablet labeled to provide 3 mg of ivermectin. It belongs to the anthelmintic, or anti-worm, class and is used to treat certain parasitic infections as directed by a doctor. Vermact 3 Tablet DT is not an antibiotic and it is not used for viral or routine bacterial infections.

How it works: Ivermectin works by binding to parasite nerve and muscle cells, causing paralysis and death of the worm or parasite. In tablet form, Vermact 3 Tablet DT is swallowed so the medicine can be absorbed into the body and act against susceptible parasites.

Because Vermact 3 Tablet DT contains 3 mg per tablet, it is a lower-strength tablet that can be useful when a prescriber wants flexible, exact dose adjustment by tablet count. This can make it easier to match the prescribed total dose for a person’s weight, diagnosis, and treatment plan than using a higher-strength tablet. A doctor may choose this strength when a smaller total amount is needed or when several tablets are used to build the prescribed dose.

• Strongyloidiasis
• Onchocerciasis
• Other worm or parasite infections when prescribed
• Parasitic infestations directed by a clinician

• Take Vermact 3 Tablet DT exactly as prescribed; the number of tablets depends on the dose your doctor orders.
• Swallow the tablet with water unless your prescriber gives different instructions.
• Take it on an empty stomach if your doctor or label instructions say to do so; food can change how much ivermectin is absorbed.
• Do not crush or split the tablet unless a pharmacist or doctor tells you to.
• If your prescription requires more than one tablet, take the tablets together only as directed.
• Complete the full course if your clinician tells you to repeat or continue doses.

Each Vermact 3 Tablet DT provides 3 mg of ivermectin per tablet. The number of tablets and how often it is taken depend on the infection being treated and your body weight, and the doctor decides the schedule; do not guess the dose from the tablet strength alone. The daily maximum is not fixed for all patients because ivermectin dosing is individualized, so follow the exact prescribed amount and do not take extra tablets unless your prescriber instructs you to do so.

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

Common side effects of Ivermectin may include:

• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Stomach pain
• Headache

• Itching or rash, especially as parasites die off

• Use extra caution if you have liver disease, because ivermectin is processed by the liver.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding before using Vermact 3 Tablet DT.
• Avoid alcohol if it worsens dizziness, lightheadedness, or stomach upset.
• Do not drive or use machinery if the tablet makes you dizzy or sleepy.
• Tell your prescriber if you have asthma, meningitis, or a weakened immune system.
• This is a prescription anti-worm tablet and should not be used for self-treatment of unknown symptoms.
• If the tablet count needed is higher because of body weight or infection type, take only the exact number prescribed; do not adjust the dose yourself.

• Warfarin or other blood thinners
• Other medicines that cause drowsiness or dizziness
• Certain anti-seizure medicines that may change ivermectin levels
• Other antiparasitic medicines unless your doctor approves
• Strong CYP3A4 affecting medicines, which may alter ivermectin exposure
