What is the essential clinical utilization of ivermectin 12 mg?

Buy ivermectin 12 mg online is primarily used in the field of parasitology to treat various parasitic infections in humans. It belongs to a class of drugs known as antihelmintics, which are effective against a range of parasites.

  1. River Blindness (Onchocerciasis): Ivermectin is well-known for its role in combating onchocerciasis, commonly known as river blindness. This disease is caused by a parasitic worm (Onchocerca volvulus) transmitted through the bites of infected black flies. Ivermectin helps control and prevent the spread of these worms, reducing the risk of blindness and other complications associated with onchocerciasis.

  2. Lymphatic Filariasis: Another significant medical use of Ivermectin is in the treatment of lymphatic filariasis, a parasitic infection caused by thread-like worms transmitted by mosquitoes. Ivermectin, when combined with other medications, is employed as part of mass drug administration programs to eliminate the transmission of the filarial worms.
