Ivermectin 12 mg (Iverheal) is an antiparasitic medicine. Doctors commonly prescribe ivermectin for certain parasitic worm infections, such as strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis, and sometimes for other parasitic infections depending on the situation.
The 12 mg strength does not mean everyone should take 12 mg—the appropriate dose depends on the infection, body weight, age, and medical circumstances.
It is not routinely recommended for treating COVID-19 or other viral infections.
