About ROSIVER

ROSIVER is a medication containing the active ingredient Ivermectin, a member of the macrocyclic lactone class. It is primarily used to treat various parasitic infections, including onchocerciasis (river blindness) and strongyloidiasis.

Key Benefits & Uses

Treatment of onchocerciasis (river blindness) caused by the parasitic worm Onchocerca volvulus.
Treatment of strongyloidiasis caused by the parasitic worm Strongyloides stercoralis.
May be used to treat other parasitic infections, such as lymphatic filariasis and scabies, under medical supervision.

Active Ingredient & Action

Ivermectin works by binding to glutamate-gated chloride channels in the nerve and muscle cells of the parasites, leading to an increase in chloride ion permeability and a subsequent hyperpolarization of the cell membrane. This results in the paralysis and death of the parasites.

Important Notes

ROSIVER should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It is essential to follow the recommended dosage and treatment duration to avoid adverse effects. Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, and nausea. In rare cases, more serious side effects can occur, such as seizures and allergic reactions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking ROSIVER.
