What is IVR? What is it used for?

IVR belongs to a class of medicines known as ectoparasiticides.

It can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin for external infestations.

How does IVR work?

IVR works by first paralyzing and then later killing the infection-causing organisms. This also helps in slowing down the multiplication rate of the causative organisms, thereby accelerating the healing process. This whole process helps in treating the infection.

Is IVR effective?
