The medicine should be used based on proper clinical diagnosis and under the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Mechanism of Action

Ivermectin exerts its antiparasitic effect by binding selectively to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels present in the nerve and muscle cells of parasites. This interaction increases the influx of chloride ions into the cells, resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite.

At recommended doses, Ivermectin does not readily cross the human blood-brain barrier, which contributes to its favorable safety profile. Its selective toxicity towards parasites makes it a trusted option in antiparasitic therapy.

Dosage and Administration

A-Mectin Tablet 12 mg should be taken orally as prescribed by a healthcare provider. The dosage is usually calculated based on body weight and the type of parasitic infection being treated. In many cases, the tablet is taken as a single dose, while some conditions may require repeated dosing after a specific interval.

For best absorption, the tablet is typically taken on an empty stomach with water. Patients are advised to follow all medical instructions carefully and complete the prescribed course of treatment.

Precautions and Warnings
