Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, and they resolve when you discontinue using Ivecop 6 Tablet 1. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some tips to manage common side effects:

Diarrhoea: Take Ivecop 6 Tablet 1 with food or milk to reduce this effect.
Abdominal pain: If you experience stomach discomfort, consider taking this medicine after meals.

Ivecop 6 Tablet 1 contains ivermectin (6 mg), which works on the body as follows:

Binding to Glutamate-gated Chloride Ion Channels: Ivermectin binds to these channels in parasite nerve and muscle cells, increasing the permeability of the cell membrane for chloride ions.
Inducing Hyperpolarisation: The increased permeability leads to hyperpolarisation, a state where the cell membrane's electrical charge becomes more negative, leading to the paralysis of parasites.
Leading to Parasite Death: The paralysis causes the eventual death of the parasite, thereby managing the infection.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Ivecop 6 Tablet 1 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Caution is advised while taking Ivecop 6 Tablet 1 if you are breastfeeding. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Alcohol

There are no known interactions between alcohol and Ivecop 6 Tablet 1. However, consult your doctor about consuming alcohol while taking this medicine.

Liver

Ivecop 6 Tablet 1 should be used with caution if you have liver impairment. Ensure you discuss your liver health with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

While there's no specific warning regarding kidney health and Ivecop 6 Tablet 1, inform your doctor if you have any kidney conditions before starting this medication.

Using Machines & Driving

Ivecop 6 Tablet 1 can cause drowsiness or dizziness. Be cautious when driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.

Allergy

If you have a known allergy to ivermectin or any other component of Ivecop 6 Tablet 1, avoid taking this medicine. Discuss any past allergic reactions with your doctor.

Children

This medicine is not recommended in children weighing less than 15 kg. It is best to consult your paediatrician before giving this medication to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Ivecop 6 Tablet 1 under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised if patients are above 70 due to possible liver and kidney issues. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

CYP3A4 inhibitors: If you're taking medicines like ketoconazole or itraconazole, which inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme, your body may not metabolise Ivecop 6 Tablet 1 properly, leading to higher levels of ivermectin in your system.
CYP3A4 inducers: Medications like rifampicin and phenytoin enhance the activity of the CYP3A4 enzyme. When used together with Ivecop 6 Tablet 1, they might decrease the level of ivermectin in the body, reducing its effectiveness.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no specific food interactions known for Ivecop 6 Tablet 1. However, it is recommended that you take this medicine on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Liver impairment: Since ivermectin is metabolised in the liver, if you have liver disease, your body might process Ivecop 6 Tablet 1 slower than normal, leading to increased medicine levels in your body.
Loa Loa infection: In patients with heavy Loa loa infection, the use of Ivecop 6 Tablet 1 may precipitate encephalopathy (brain disease). Use this medication cautiously if you live in areas where loa loa is prevalent.
