Ivermectin 12 mg is an oral antiparasitic medication used to treat certain parasitic infections in humans when prescribed by a healthcare professional. It is commonly used for strongyloidiasis, an intestinal infection caused by roundworms, and onchocerciasis (river blindness), a parasitic disease transmitted by blackflies. These are approved medical indications worldwide.

In some cases, ivermectin 12 mg Tablets may also be prescribed off label for other parasitic conditions such as scabies and head lice, particularly when topical treatments have failed or the infestation is widespread or resistant. In these situations, ivermectin is usually given as part of a specific dosing schedule based on body weight and the type of infection, sometimes with repeat doses.

Ivermectin works by interfering with the nervous system of parasites, leading to paralysis and death of the organisms. It does not kill adult worms in all infections but helps reduce parasite load and prevent disease progression.
