Iverheal is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient ivermectin, designed to treat a range of parasitic infections by targeting the nervous systems of parasites, leading to their paralysis and elimination from the body. It is widely recognized for its efficacy in managing conditions such as strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis, offering a reliable solution for both intestinal and systemic parasitic infestations. Proper usage under medical supervision ensures optimal therapeutic outcomes while minimizing potential risks.

Features

• Contains 12 mg of ivermectin as the active pharmaceutical ingredient
• Available in tablet form for oral administration
• Manufactured under strict quality control standards
• Packaged in blister strips to ensure stability and ease of use
• Suitable for adult and pediatric use (subject to weight-based dosing)

Benefits

• Effectively eliminates a broad spectrum of parasitic organisms
• Reduces symptoms associated with parasitic infections, such as itching and gastrointestinal discomfort
• Helps prevent complications from chronic parasitic diseases
• Supports improved nutrient absorption and overall health by clearing intestinal parasites
• Contributes to public health efforts in endemic regions by reducing transmission

Common use

Iverheal is commonly prescribed for the treatment of parasitic infections including strongyloidiasis (intestinal infection caused by Strongyloides stercoralis) and onchocerciasis (river blindness caused by Onchocerca volvulus). It may also be used off-label for other conditions as determined by a healthcare provider, such as scabies or certain types of mite infestations, always under professional guidance.

Dosage and direction

Dosage is based on body weight and the specific condition being treated. For strongyloidiasis, the typical dose is 200 mcg per kilogram of body weight taken as a single dose. For onchocerciasis, the same dose is often repeated every 6 to 12 months as needed. Tablets should be taken on an empty stomach with a full glass of water to enhance absorption. Do not crush or chew the tablet; swallow it whole.

Precautions

• Use only under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
• Inform your doctor of any history of liver disease, kidney impairment, or immune system disorders.
• Avoid alcohol consumption during treatment, as it may increase the risk of side effects.
• Not recommended during pregnancy unless clearly needed and prescribed by a physician.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Contraindications

Iverheal is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ivermectin or any component of the formulation. It should not be used in individuals with conditions that may increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, such as certain CNS disorders, due to the potential for neurotoxicity.

Possible side effects

Common side effects may include dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, or mild skin rash. Less frequently, patients may experience orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, or elevated liver enzymes. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions or neurological effects such as confusion or seizures may occur. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if severe side effects manifest.

Drug interaction

Iverheal may interact with other medications that affect CYP450 enzymes, such as certain antifungals (e.g., ketoconazole) or antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin). Concurrent use with other antiparasitic agents or CNS depressants should be approached with caution. Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking.

Missed dose

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for the next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. Adherence to the prescribed dosing schedule is important for effectiveness.

Overdose

In case of suspected overdose, symptoms may include severe nausea, vomiting, dizziness, hypotension, or neurological symptoms such as altered mental status. Seek immediate medical attention or contact a poison control center. Treatment is supportive and may include gastric lavage or activated charcoal if ingestion was recent.

Storage

Store Iverheal tablets at room temperature (15–30°C), in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep the blister pack in the original carton until use. Do not use beyond the expiration date printed on the packaging.
