How Ivecop 12 Tablet Works?
Ivecop 12 Tablet is an antiparasitic medication. It works by binding to the muscle and nerve cells of worms, causing their paralysis and death. This treats your infection. Ivermectin also targets a protein in the parasites called glutamate-gated chloride channels, which are critical for the parasite’s nerve and muscle function.
By blocking these channels, Ivermectin prevents the parasite from maintaining its normal bodily functions, leading to its death. The drug is effective against various parasitic infections such as scabies, strongyloidiasis, and onchocerciasis by killing the parasites responsible for these conditions.
