Iverfem 12 MG Tablet 10 contains ivermectin (12 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Binding to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels: Ivermectin selectively and strongly binds to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels present in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells.

• Increasing cell membrane permeability: The binding action triggers increased permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions.

• Inducing paralysis and death of parasites: As a result of the increased cell membrane permeability, hyperpolarization occurs in the nerve or muscle cell, leading to paralysis and eventual death of the parasite.

• Store Iverfem 12 MG Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place, ideally below 30°C.

• Ensure the container is tightly closed to prevent exposure to air.

• Keep it out of reach of children at all times.
