Ivermectin 3 mg is an antiparasitic medication used in humans to treat a variety of infections caused by certain parasites. It works by interfering with the nervous system of parasites, ultimately paralyzing and killing them. In humans Ivermectin 3 mg is commonly used for conditions such as strongyloidiasis (a type of roundworm infection) and onchocerciasis (river blindness). It may also be prescribed for scabies and head lice when standard treatments are not effective or suitable. The 3 mg strength is typically part of a weight-based dosing regimen, meaning the number of tablets needed depends on the patient’s body weight and the type of infection being treated. Ivermectin is usually taken as a single oral dose, although certain conditions may require repeat doses as directed by a healthcare professional. The medication should always be taken exactly as prescribed, and on an empty stomach with water to improve absorption.Ivermectin is generally well tolerated, but some people may experience mild side effects such as dizziness, nausea, itching, or diarrhea. More serious reactions are rare but possible, especially in individuals with heavy parasite loads. Because ivermectin can interact with certain medical conditions or medications, it should only be used under proper medical guidance.
