Ivermectin is available in a dispersible tablet form, as well as standard tablets and topical formulations. It is an antiparasitic medication used to treat specific parasitic infections in humans, such as river blindness (onchocerciasis) and threadworm infections (strongyloidiasis). 

Key Information

• Formulation: Dispersible tablets are designed to be dissolved in a liquid before administration, or they can be swallowed whole with water, typically on an empty stomach.

• Active Ingredient: The primary active ingredient is ivermectin, which works by paralyzing and killing the parasites by interfering with their nerve and muscle functions.

• Approved Uses: Ivermectin is approved by health authorities like the USFDA and EMA for specific parasitic conditions. It is not approved for treating viral infections like COVID-19.

• Prescription Required: Ivermectin is a prescription-only medication and should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Self-medication should be avoided.

• Dosage: The dosage varies depending on the condition being treated and the patient's body weight, and must be determined by a doctor.
