Iverjohn is a prescription medication containing ivermectin, a well-established antiparasitic agent. It is specifically formulated to treat a range of parasitic infections by paralyzing and killing parasitic organisms, thereby eliminating the infestation and relieving associated symptoms. This treatment is recognized for its efficacy and is used under medical supervision to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

Features

• Active ingredient: Ivermectin
• Available in tablet form for oral administration
• Standardized dosing based on patient weight and condition
• Manufactured under strict quality control standards
• Requires a prescription for controlled and appropriate use

Benefits

• Effectively eliminates target parasitic organisms, resolving the underlying infection.
• Alleviates symptoms associated with parasitic infestations, such as discomfort and systemic illness.
• Supports restoration of normal intestinal function and overall health.
• Reduces risk of complications arising from prolonged parasitic infections.
• Contributes to public health efforts in controlling parasitic disease transmission.
• Provides a well-tolerated treatment option with a established safety profile when used as directed.

Common use

Iverjohn is primarily indicated for the treatment of parasitic worm infections, including strongyloidiasis (caused by Strongyloides stercoralis) and onchocerciasis (river blindness, caused by Onchocerca volvulus). It may also be used off-label for other parasitic conditions as determined by a healthcare provider, based on clinical evidence and patient-specific factors.

Dosage and direction

Dosage is strictly determined by a physician and is based on the patient’s body weight and the specific parasitic infection being treated. Tablets should be taken orally with a full glass of water on an empty stomach, at least one hour before a meal, to ensure optimal absorption. Do not crush or chew tablets unless advised otherwise. Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if symptoms improve earlier.

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 certain side effects.
• Not recommended for use during pregnancy unless clearly necessary and prescribed by a physician.
• Use with caution in elderly patients or those with compromised health status.

Contraindications

Iverjohn is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to ivermectin or any component of the formulation. It should not be used in patients with conditions where a rapid kill of parasites may lead to severe inflammatory reactions. Use during breastfeeding is generally not advised unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the infant.

Possible side effect

Common side effects may include dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, pruritus (itching), and mild skin rash. In some cases, patients may experience fatigue, abdominal pain, or transient changes in liver enzyme levels. Rare but serious side effects can include severe skin reactions, orthostatic hypotension, or neurological symptoms such as confusion or seizures. Report any persistent or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider promptly.

Drug interaction

Iverjohn may interact with other medications that suppress the central nervous system, such as benzodiazepines or barbiturates, potentially enhancing sedative effects. Concomitant use with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 enzymes should be monitored. Warfarin and other anticoagulants may require dosage adjustment. Always inform your doctor of all medications, supplements, and 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. Resume the regular dosing schedule and inform your healthcare provider at the next consultation.

Overdose

In case of suspected overdose, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms may include severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, hypotension, and neurological depression. Treatment is supportive and may include gastric lavage and administration of activated charcoal if ingestion was recent. There is no specific antidote for ivermectin overdose.

Storage

Store Iverjohn tablets at room temperature (15–30°C), in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep the medication in its original container, tightly closed, and out of reach of children and pets. Do not use beyond the expiration date printed on the packaging.
