Intas Neomec (Ivermectin) 10mg Tablets for Dogs
Intas Neomec (Ivermectin) 10mg Tablets for Dogs Intas Neomec is a vet-prescribed ivermectin tablet for dogs used to treat parasitic infections, most commonly mange and mite infesta tions, and certain worms. Each tablet contains ivermectin 10mg, a powerful antiparasitic that clears mites, lice, and worms that cause intense itching, hair loss, and skin damage. Because ivermectin is a strong medicine with important breed-specific safety considerations, Neomec is a prescription product and must always be dosed by a vet. Available in packs of 10, 20 and 40 tablets, from Rs 117. Pharmacological classification Class: Avermectin (a subclass of macrocyclic lactones) Category: Antiparasitic / Endectocide Mechanism of action: Binds to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in parasite nerve and muscle cells, increasing membrane permeability to chloride ions. This causes hyperpolarization of the cell, leading to paralysis and death of the parasite. Mammals are largely protected from this effect because the drug does not readily cross the mammalian blood-brain barrier — except in dogs with the MDR1 (ABCB1) gene mutation, where impaired P-glycoprotein function allows ivermectin to accumulate in the CNS, causing toxicity. Spectrum: Ectoparasiticidal and endoparasiticidal — active against mites (Sarcoptes, Demodex), lice, and certain nematodes Route/form: Oral tablet Schedule: Schedule H (prescription-only) in India What Neomec is and how it work? Neomec contains ivermectin, an antiparasitic that works by paralysing and killing parasites, both external ones like mites and lice, and certain internal worms. It is most widely prescribed in dogs for mange, the intensely itchy, hair losing skin disease caused by mites, including both sarcoptic mange (scabies) and demodectic mange. By clearing the mites, it lets the skin heal. Some pet parents also search for ivermectin for dog ticks or as a dewormer, and while ivermectin is a broad antiparasitic, Neomec is best understood as a targeted mite and mange treatment rather than a routine tick or worm product, which is why it is filed under skin and parasite care. It is important to be clear about what Neomec is and is not. It is a prescription antiparasitic medicine, not a routine monthly dewormer or a first choice tick and flea preventive. Although some people search for it as a Neomec dewormer, for everyday worm control there are gentler, purpose-built deworming tablets, and for routine tick and flea prevention there are safer, purpose-built tick and flea tablets. Neomec is the targeted treatment a vet reaches for when a dog has a diagnosed mite or mange problem. What Neomec is used for? Vets prescribe Neomec mainly for parasitic skin disease. Common uses include: Sarcoptic mange (scabies), the intensely itchy, contagious mite infestation, explained in our guide to scabies in dogs Demodectic mange (demodex), a mite overgrowth causing patchy hair loss, covered in our guide to mange in dogs Ear mites and other mite infestations Lice, and some intestinal worms, when a vet judges it appropriate If your dog has persistent itching, scabby or crusty skin, or patchy hair loss, it should be seen by a vet, who can confirm mites with a skin scrape and decide whether Neomec is the right treatment. Neomec dosage for dogs Ivermectin is dosed very precisely by body weight and by condition, and the safe dose for mange is different from other uses. Because the margin between an effective dose and a harmful one is narrow, and because some breeds cannot tolerate it at all, we do not publish a self-dosing chart for ivermectin. Your vet will calculate the exact dose for your dog’s weight, breed and condition, and tell you how often and how long to give it. Always follow the vet’s prescription exactly. Never estimate the dose or copy a dose from another dog. Give with or after food as your vet advises, and make sure the full tablet is swallowed. Never increase the dose or give it more often than prescribed. With ivermectin, more is dangerous, not more effective. Complete the full course even if the skin looks better, as mange mites take time to clear fully. 🩺 Vet Tip: If your dog is a Collie, Australian Shepherd, Sheltie, Old English Sheepdog, Long haired Whippet or any herding breed or cross, tell your vet before ivermectin is even considered. These breeds can carry the MDR1 gene mutation that makes ivermectin dangerous for them, and a simple MDR1 genetic test can be done first. For any dog, watch closely for the first day or two after a dose, and if you see wobbliness, drooling, dilated pupils, tremors or unusual drowsiness, contact a vet immediately. When used correctly under supervision, ivermectin is a valuable medicine, and a vet consultation is the safest way to start. - Dr. Devayani K, MVSc, 6+ years of experience Safety information The MDR1 breed warning This is the single most important thing to know about ivermectin. Dogs with the MDR1 (also called ABCB1) gene mutation cannot clear ivermectin from the brain normally, so a dose that is safe for other dogs can cause severe, even fatal, neurological harm. The breeds most at risk are herding breeds: Collies, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Shetland Sheepdogs, Old English Sheepdogs, Long haired Whippets, and their mixes. If your dog is one of these, or you are unsure of the breed, ivermectin should only be used after your vet has considered MDR1 testing. Signs of ivermectin toxicity, act immediately Stop the medicine and contact a vet urgently if you see any of these after a dose: Wobbliness, stumbling or loss of coordination Drooling, vomiting, or dilated pupils Muscle tremors, disorientation, or unusual drowsiness In severe cases, collapse or seizures Do not give Neomec if Your dog is a herding breed or cross at risk of the MDR1 mutation, unless cleared by your vet Your dog is a very young puppy, or below the weight your vet advises Your dog is pregnant or lactating, without specific veterinary guidance Your dog has not been tested for heartworm, since ivermectin in a heartworm positive dog can cause a dangerous reaction Your dog is on other medicines that interact with ivermectin, so always tell your vet what else your dog takes Keep tablets well out of reach of pets and children, since accidental ingestion of ivermectin is an emergency. Substitutes and alternatives Depending on what your dog actually needs, a vet may recommend one of these instead. For mange, modern isoxazoline tablets are often preferred as they are effective against mites and safer across breeds. Alternative Use case Note Bravecto (fluralaner) tablet Mange, ticks and fleas Modern isoxazoline, effective against mites and safe across breeds, including MDR1 dogs. Intas Eazypet deworming tablet Routine worm control A gentler, OTC broad-spectrum dewormer for regular deworming, not mites. Ridd Anti-Tick & Flea Solution Tick and flea control A topical dip for ticks and fleas, a different route from oral ivermectin.

Neomec contains ivermectin and is used mainly to treat parasitic skin disease in dogs, especially sarcoptic and demodectic mange and other mite infestations, and sometimes lice or certain worms. It works by killing the parasites so the skin can heal. It is a prescription medicine for diagnosed problems, not a routine dewormer or tick preventive. What is the Neomec tablet dosage for dogs? Ivermectin is dosed very precisely by weight, breed and condition, and the safe dose is narrow, so we do not publish a self dosing chart. Your vet calculates the exact dose for your dog and tells you how often and how long to give it. Never estimate the dose or reuse another dog’s dose, as overdose is dangerous. Is ivermectin safe for dogs? For most dogs, ivermectin is safe when dosed correctly by a vet. The major exception is herding breeds like Collies, Australian Shepherds and Shelties, which can carry the MDR1 gene mutation that makes ivermectin dangerous even at normal doses. Because of this and its narrow safety margin, ivermectin should only be given under veterinary supervision. Which breeds should not take Neomec or ivermectin? Herding breeds and their crosses are most at risk, including Collies, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Shetland Sheepdogs, Old English Sheepdogs and Long haired Whippets, because they may carry the MDR1 mutation. If your dog is one of these or of unknown breeding, tell your vet, who may recommend an MDR1 test or a safer alternative like a modern isoxazoline tablet. What are the Neomec tablet side effects? When correctly dosed, most dogs tolerate it well. Signs of a problem, especially of overdose or ivermectin sensitivity, include wobbliness, drooling, dilated pupils, vomiting, tremors, unusual drowsiness and, in severe cases, collapse or seizures. If you see any of these after a dose, stop the medicine and contact a vet immediately, as ivermectin toxicity is an emergency. How is Neomec used to treat mange? For mange, a vet confirms the mite type with a skin scrape, then prescribes ivermectin at a specific dose and schedule, often repeated over several weeks until the mites clear. It is important to complete the full course even once the skin looks better. Because mange dosing and duration vary, this must be guided by a vet, not self managed. Can I use Neomec as a regular dewormer or tick preventive? It is not the right choice for that. Neomec is a targeted prescription antiparasitic for diagnosed mite and mange problems, not a routine product. If you are wondering how to deworm a dog routinely, a gentler over the counter dewormer is the safer choice, and for routine tick and flea prevention, a purpose built tick and flea tablet is more suitable and safer across breeds. What is the Neomec tablet price? The Neomec tablet price on Supertails is Rs 117 for a strip of 10 on Supertails, with larger packs of 20 and 40 tablets also available at better value. Because it is a prescription medicine, your order is verified before dispatch. The exact number of tablets your dog needs depends on the vet prescribed dose and course length.
