What is this medicine?
IVERLAST (IVERMECTIN 12 mg) is an antiparasitic agent. It is used to treat parasitic infections such as strongyloidiasis (intestinal worm infection), onchocerciasis (river blindness), scabies, and head lice. It works by binding to specific chloride channels in the parasite’s nerve and muscle cells, leading to paralysis and death of the parasite.
