Ivermectin 6 mg is an antiparasitic medication widely used in humans to treat certain parasitic infections. It works by paralyzing and killing parasites, helping the body eliminate them naturally. In clinical practice, ivermectin is commonly prescribed for conditions such as strongyloidiasis , scabies, and head lice. The exact dose and duration depend on the type of infection, the patient’s weight, and overall health, and it should always be taken under medical supervision. For scabies and lice, Ivermectin 6 mg may be given as a single oral dose, sometimes repeated after one to two weeks to ensure complete eradication of the parasites. In intestinal infections, dosing may differ and may require follow-up testing. The 6 mg strength allows flexible dosing based on body weight, which is important for both safety and effectiveness. Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, and mild skin rash. In rare cases, allergic reactions or neurological symptoms may occur, especially if used incorrectly. Ivermectin is not an antibiotic and does not treat viral infections. It should not be taken without a doctor’s advice, particularly by pregnant women, young children, or people with liver disease. Proper medical guidance ensures safe and effective use.
