Uses of Iverkind 12

If parasites remain unregulated in the human body, they can seriously threaten health.

Doctors prescribe Iverkind 12 DT pill to treat illnesses including:

• Scabies: Sarcoptes scabiei is the parasite responsible for scabies. It is highly contagious and causes skin itching.
• Onchocerciasis: This condition, often known as 'River Blindness,' affects the skin and the eyes. This disease is transmitted by the repetitive bites of infected black flies.
• Strongyloidiasis: This medical condition is brought on by the parasitic roundworm Strongyloides stercoralis. Most cases of this infection in humans are due to soil contamination.

How does Iverkind 12 DT work?

The medicine's active ingredient, Ivermectin, is a semisynthetic Antihelmintic drug.

The medication binds specifically to Glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in nerve and muscle cells.

This binding increases chloride ion permeability of the cell membrane.

The extra ions cause the cell to become hyperpolarized, which paralyzes and kills the parasite.
