Veratin Tablet 6 mg contains Ivermectin, a broad-spectrum antiparasitic medication used to treat a variety of parasitic infections. It is particularly effective against intestinal worms, scabies, lice, and other parasitic infestations. Ivermectin works by paralyzing and killing parasites through binding to their nerve and muscle cells, leading to the eradication of the infection.

Veratin is known for its rapid action, high efficacy, and ease of oral administration, making it a preferred choice for both adults and children (above the recommended age/weight) suffering from parasitic infections.

Indications

Veratin Tablet 6 mg is indicated for:

• Treatment of intestinal nematode infections (such as Strongyloides stercoralis and Ascaris lumbricoides)
• Management of ectoparasitic infections including scabies and head lice
• Prophylactic use in endemic regions for filariasis and onchocerciasis under medical guidance
• Effective against other sensitive parasitic infestations as prescribed by a physician

Mechanism of Action

Ivermectin acts as a paralyzing agent for parasites:

• Binds selectively to glutamate-gated chloride channels in the parasite’s nerve and muscle cells
• Increases chloride ion permeability, causing hyperpolarization
• Leads to paralysis and death of the parasite without affecting human cells
• Allows the immune system to eliminate the dead parasites effectively

This mechanism makes Ivermectin highly effective against a wide range of parasites while maintaining a strong safety profile in humans.
