How Does the Weemect 12mg Tablet Work?

Weemect 12mg Tablet contains Ivermectin, which targets parasitic worms by interfering with their nervous system. It binds to specific channels in nerve and muscle cells of the parasites, leading to paralysis and eventual death. This prevents the parasites from multiplying and spreading within the body.

The medication is absorbed into the bloodstream after oral administration, allowing it to reach the tissues and organs where parasites reside. By eliminating the parasites efficiently, Weemect 12mg helps relieve symptoms of infection, such as abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and skin irritation, while reducing the risk of reinfection over time.
