Ivermectin is a highly effective medication used to treat a variety of parasitic infections in both humans and animals. It was first discovered in the 1970s and has since become a cornerstone of global efforts to control and eliminate certain parasitic diseases.
Ivermectin has proven to be an effective treatment for a wide range of parasitic infections, including intestinal parasites like Ascaris, hookworms, and Trichuris, as well as ectoparasites like scabies, lice, and cutaneous larva migrans. Iverjohn 12 is also used to treat filarial infections such as onchocerciasis (river blindness) and lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis). Ivermectin works by disrupting the nervous system of the parasites, causing paralysis and death. Its broad-spectrum activity, excellent safety profile, and relatively low cost have made it an invaluable tool in the fight against neglected tropical diseases worldwide.
