Ivermectin 6 mg tablet is a medication primarily used to treat parasitic infections. It works by paralyzing and killing parasites, such as worms and mites, that cause various conditions in humans and animals. Ivermectin is particularly effective against onchocerciasis (river blindness) and strongyloidiasis, among other infections. Additionally, some studies suggest that ivermectin may have antiviral properties, although more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness against viral infections. It is important to use ivermectin under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as improper use can lead to adverse effects.
