Ivermectin 6mg Tablets – Online Pharmacy UK

What is Ivermectin 6mg?

Ivermectin 6mg tablets contain an established antiparasitic medicine used for the treatment of specific parasitic infections in humans. In the UK, Ivermectin is a prescription-only medication, meaning it should only be taken after assessment by a qualified healthcare professional.

The 6mg strength provides a mid-range dosing option that may be selected when a higher dose than 3mg is required. Healthcare providers choose the tablet strength based on factors such as body weight, type of infection, and overall medical history.

How Ivermectin Works 6mg

Ivermectin works by affecting the nerve and muscle cells of parasites. It increases the movement of chloride ions across parasite cell membranes, leading to paralysis and eventual elimination of the parasites from the body. This allows the immune system to clear the infection more effectively.

Ivermectin does not treat viral infections or bacterial illnesses, and it should only be used for medically diagnosed parasitic conditions.

Approved Uses

Ivermectin may be prescribed for certain confirmed parasitic infections, including:

• Strongyloidiasis (intestinal roundworm infection)
• Onchocerciasis (river blindness)
• Other parasitic infections as determined by a healthcare professional

Treatment is always based on a clinical diagnosis and professional medical guidance.

Dosage Information (Not Medical Advice)

The correct dose of Ivermectin varies depending on:

• Body weight
• Type and severity of infection
• Individual health factors

The 6mg strength allows prescribers to provide appropriate dosing when moderate-strength tablets are required. Always take this medicine exactly as prescribed.

Do not adjust your dose without medical advice.
