Ivermectin is a medication used to treat parasitic infections such as river blindness and scabies.
It is often used in combination with other medications to treat parasitic infections.
In rare cases, ivermectin can cause more serious side effects such as seizures, low blood pressure, and allergic reactions.
Ivermectin is generally considered safe and well-tolerated when used as directed.
Ivermectin may interact with other medications, including blood thinners and certain antibiotics.
This medication is available in tablet, topical cream, and injection forms.
This medication can also be used to treat scabies, a skin infestation caused by mites.
It is particularly effective against certain types of worms and mites.
It is important to finish the entire course of medication, even if your symptoms improve before the medication is finished.
Tell your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking before starting ivermectin.
If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
If you are taking ivermectin tablets, be sure to take them with a full glass of water on an empty stomach.
