No, ivermectin Iverheal 12mg is not an antibiotic. It is an antiparasitic medication, meaning it is specifically designed to target and treat infections caused by parasites, rather than bacteria. Ivermectin works by disrupting the nerve and muscle functions of parasites, leading to their paralysis and eventual death. This makes it effective in treating a variety of parasitic infections, such as onchocerciasis (river blindness), strongyloidiasis (a parasitic worm infection), scabies, and head lice.

Antibiotics, on the other hand, are drugs used to treat bacterial infections by either killing bacteria or inhibiting their growth. Ivermectin does not have the same effect on bacteria, and it is not used for treating bacterial infections like pneumonia, urinary tract infections, or strep throat.
