Ivercor 6mg

Ivercor 6mg contains 6mg of ivermectin per tablet, the dose that hits the standard 200 micrograms per kilogram WHO therapeutic target for an adult weighing 30 kilograms. It is also the building-block dose for higher-weight regimens: most prescribers use two 6mg tablets for adults in the 50 to 65 kg band, three for 65 to 80 kg, and four for 80 to 95 kg, giving more granular control than the 12mg or 24mg unit. Actiza Pharma Pvt. Ltd. manufactures Ivercor 6mg at a WHO-GMP certified facility in India.

Why 6mg is the smart unit for adult dosing

The therapeutic dose of ivermectin for the major indications (strongyloidiasis, onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, scabies) is 200 micrograms per kilogram of body weight, single oral dose, taken on an empty stomach (PMID:12362927). At that ratio:

A 30 kg adult needs exactly 6mg (one Ivercor 6mg tablet). A 60 kg adult needs 12mg, achievable as either two 6mg tablets or one Ivercor 12mg. A 90 kg adult needs 18mg, achievable as three 6mg tablets or one 12mg plus one 6mg. The 6mg tablet lets you target the right weight band without the rounding errors that come with 3mg-only or 12mg-only stocking. For paediatric dosing or for adults under 25 kg, Ivercor 3mg is the right tool.

How to take Ivercor 6mg

Take Ivercor 6mg as a single oral dose on an empty stomach with water, at least one hour before food. Fasted administration gives roughly standard absorption; a high-fat meal can increase ivermectin exposure by approximately 2.5 times, which is why prescribers ask for the empty-stomach window. For most adults, a single dose is sufficient for strongyloidiasis; scabies treatment typically uses two doses 7 to 14 days apart to catch the second mite generation (PMID:26555785).

Calculate your dose by multiplying your weight in kg by 0.2, which gives mg of ivermectin needed. Round to the nearest 3mg or 6mg increment. For step-by-step worked examples, our ivermectin dosage by weight for adults guide walks through the math.

What Ivercor 6mg treats

Ivermectin is FDA-approved for intestinal strongyloidiasis (Strongyloides stercoralis) and onchocerciasis (river blindness). Off-label and in many national formularies, it is also first-line for scabies, head lice, cutaneous larva migrans, and gnathostomiasis. A 2019 network meta-analysis of antiscabietic agents covering 15 trials and 1,896 patients ranked oral ivermectin among the top treatments for scabies, with efficacy comparable to topical permethrin and superior treatment compliance (PMID:30654070).

If you have a parasite burden that calls for combination therapy with a benzimidazole, the Wormentel Duo tablet combines ivermectin with fenbendazole in one dose. For high-dose protocols, Covilife 40mg delivers more ivermectin per tablet but requires careful prescriber supervision.

Side effects and what to watch for

Ivermectin has one of the strongest safety records in human medicine, with billions of doses distributed through WHO river blindness and lymphatic filariasis programmes since 1987. At single therapeutic doses of 6 to 24mg, side effects are usually mild: transient dizziness (about 3 percent), nausea (2 percent), pruritus or rash (2 percent), and headache (2 percent). A safety and pharmacokinetics study escalated single doses up to 120mg (10 times the standard) in healthy adults without serious adverse events (PMID:12362927).

In Loa loa endemic areas (parts of West and Central Africa), ivermectin can cause serious encephalopathy in patients with very high microfilarial loads. Outside those regions this is not a concern. Standard cautions: known hypersensitivity to ivermectin, modest INR rise in patients on warfarin, and increased exposure with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Pregnancy classification is C; please consult your prescriber for pregnancy and breastfeeding decisions.

Ivercor 6mg vs the other Ivercor strengths

Choose Ivercor 3mg for paediatric dosing or for adults under 25 kg. Choose Ivercor 6mg when you want a flexible building block to hit non-standard adult weights (30, 60, 90 kg ranges) or for split-dose titration. Choose Ivercor 12mg if you are a 60 kg adult and prefer a single tablet over two 6mg tablets. Choose Ivercor 24mg for adults over 100 kg or for high-dose research protocols under medical supervision.
