Active Ingredient
Ivermectin USP 40 mg
Each Covilife-40 tablet which is uncoated contains 40 mg of Ivermectin USP along with the excipients used in the formulation.
Medicine Information
Oral ivermectin is already used in medicine for certain parasitic infections, and the current prescribing information for use in the United States lists intestinal strongyloidiasis caused by Strongyloides stercoralis and onchocerciasis caused by Onchocerca volvulus as among the approved indications for oral ivermectin.
Ivermectin combats susceptible parasites by disrupting the nerve and muscle functions which are important for their survival.
The choice of the correct ivermectin treatment will depend on a number of factors, such as the particular parasite involved, the patient's body weight, their medical history, the other medicines they are taking, and any other clinical circumstances.
Covilife-40 is not suitable in all cases of parasitic infection and the fact that each tablet contains 40 mg of ivermectin does not imply that one tablet is the right dose for every patient or situation.
The fact is that even though ivermectin has established prescription uses in the United States, this does not imply that the Covilife-40 brand or its 40 mg tablet strength has been given U.S. approval.
How to Use
You should use Covilife-40 only on the advice of a healthcare professional, as the packaging of the product shows that the dosage must be decided by a physician.
The correct dose of ivermectin will depend on the specific infection and the patient's body weight, and a treatment schedule should not be based just on the 40 mg strength stated on the package.
Do not increase the dose, repeat a course of treatment, or use Covilife-40 for another suspected parasitic infection without first getting appropriate professional advice.
Important Safety Information
Tell your healthcare professional about any medical conditions, allergies, prescription medicines, non-prescription products, and supplements that you are currently using before you take Covilife-40.
Before using ivermectin, one should discuss with a healthcare professional any circumstances relating to pregnancy, breastfeeding, and liver conditions among others.
Ivermectin can have side effects in certain people, and you should obtain suitable medical help if you have a serious, ongoing, unusual, or worrying reaction.
It is important to properly evaluate a possible parasitic infection since different parasites may need different kinds of medicine or different methods of treatment.
Antiparasitic Medicine Use
Covilife-40 must only be used when it is considered appropriate to administer ivermectin for the parasitic infection in question.
The fact that the symptoms are similar to those of a past parasitic infection does not mean that they are the same thing. You should not use a prescription that was written for someone else or carry out a treatment programme meant for another person.
Veterinary ivermectin should not be substituted for medicines that are formulated for human use.
Storage and Handling
The packaging of Covilife-40 shows that the medicine should be stored in a cool, dry and dark place; the tablets must be kept in their original packaging and the drug should be out of children's reach.
