Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic medication used to treat infections in the body that are caused by certain parasites. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as river blindness (onchocerciasis), strongyloidiasis, scabies, and other diseases caused by helminth infections. Ivermectin works by binding to invertebrate muscle and nerve cells of parasites, causing paralysis and death of parasites.

How is this medication used?

Ivermectin is taken orally, usually on an empty stomach with water. The dosage and length of treatment are based on the patient's weight, medical condition, and response to treatment. For certain infections, a single dose may be sufficient, while for others, a follow-up dose is necessary. It is important to follow your doctor's dosing instructions carefully to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.

What are the possible side effects?

Side effects of ivermectin can include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, facial or limb swelling, neurologic adverse events (including dizziness, seizures, and confusion), sudden drop in blood pressure, severe skin rash potentially requiring hospitalization, and liver injury (hepatitis). Some side effects like an allergic reaction, although rare, are severe and require immediate medical attention.

What are the potential interactions?

Ivermectin can interact with other medications, such as warfarin, increasing the risk of side effects such as bleeding. Concomitant use of drugs that affect P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 enzymes might either increase or decrease the plasma levels of ivermectin, potentially altering its efficacy and side effect profile. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal products.
