What is Ivermectin used for?

Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug that targets a variety of helminth and ectoparasite infections.

Onchocerciasis: reduces microfilarial load and prevents disease progression. Strongyloidiasis: eliminates intestinal larvae and prevents dissemination. Lymphatic filariasis: decreases adult worm burden and reduces transmission. Scabies: eradicates Sarcoptes scabiei mites, relieving itching and skin lesions. Pediculosis: kills head lice and nits, controlling infestation. Intestinal helminth infections: clears common roundworm and hookworm infections, improving gastrointestinal health.

What are the side effects of Ivermectin?

Ivermectin may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to severe.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea - Diarrhea - Abdominal pain - Dizziness - Headache - Pruritus

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome - Encephalopathy - Severe skin reactions - Hepatic injury - Visual disturbances - Anaphylaxis

What precautions apply to Ivermectin?

When prescribing ivermectin, several safety considerations should be observed.

Pregnancy: safety not established; avoid unless benefit outweighs risk. Breastfeeding: unknown; consider potential exposure to infant. Liver disease: use with caution; monitor hepatic function. Concomitant CNS depressants: may increase neurotoxicity risk. Drug interactions: review all concomitant medications. Store at ambient temperature: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and light.

What does Ivermectin interact with?

Ivermectin can interact with other medicines, affecting its concentration or toxicity.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: may increase ivermectin plasma levels. - Warfarin: potential enhancement of anticoagulant effect. - P‑glycoprotein inhibitors: increase systemic exposure. - Other antiparasitics: risk of additive toxicity. - Neuroactive GABAergic agents: heightened risk of neurotoxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - CYP3A4 inducers: may reduce efficacy. - Antacids: may affect absorption. - Macrolide antibiotics: potential pharmacokinetic interaction. - Statins: monitor for muscle toxicity. - Antifungals (e.g., ketoconazole): may alter ivermectin levels.
