Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Iverjohn 12 Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Iverjohn 12 Tablet 10 contains Ivermectin (12 mg), which works on the body in the following ways:

Binding Selectively: Ivermectin selectively binds with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels found in nerve and muscle cells of invertebrates (creatures without a backbone). This action plays a crucial role in controlling parasitic infection.
Increasing Permeability: By binding to these channels, ivermectin increases the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions. This causes an excessive flow of chloride ions into the cell.
Inducing Parasite Paralysis and Death: The increased flow of chloride ions leads to hyperpolarisation. This means that there's an excessive positive charge inside the cell, causing paralysis and eventually death of the parasite.

Pregnancy

Iverjohn 12 Tablet 10 should be used with caution during pregnancy. It's crucial to consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to conceive.
