Mechanism of Action

Ivermectin works by binding selectively to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels found in the nerve and muscle cells of parasites. This binding increases the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions, leading to paralysis and eventual death of the parasite.

Ivermectin has a high degree of selectivity for parasites and does not easily cross the human blood-brain barrier at recommended doses. This selective action contributes to its favorable safety profile when used as prescribed.

Dosage and Administration

A-Mectin Tablet 6 mg should be taken orally, usually as a single dose or short-course treatment, depending on the type of infection and patient body weight. The tablet is typically taken on an empty stomach with water to enhance absorption.

The exact dosage regimen and duration of therapy are determined by the healthcare provider based on the specific parasitic infection, severity, and patient factors. Patients should strictly follow medical instructions and may require repeat dosing in certain conditions such as scabies.
