Ivermectin is a prescription medication used to treat a variety of conditions caused by parasitic infections, such as river blindness, scabies, and strongyloidiasis. The dosage and administration of Iverheal 6mg depend on the specific condition being treated, your body weight, and other factors, so it's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully.
For scabies, the typical dose for adults and children over 15 kg is a single dose of 200 micrograms per kilogram (mcg/kg) of body weight. Depending on the severity of the infection, your doctor may recommend repeating the dose after one or two weeks.
For river blindness (onchocerciasis), the usual dose is also 150–200 mcg/kg of body weight, typically taken once every six to 12 months, depending on the severity and the doctor's recommendation.
For strongyloidiasis, a single dose of 200 mcg/kg is commonly recommended, although repeat dosing may be necessary depending on the severity.
