What is Ivermectin used for?

Ivermectin is an anthelmintic used to treat infections caused by various helminths and ectoparasites.

Onchocerciasis: reduces microfilarial load and prevents disease progression. Strongyloidiasis: eradicates intestinal larvae and prevents hyperinfection. Scabies: eliminates the Sarcoptes mite, relieving itching and skin lesions. Lymphatic filariasis: lowers circulating filarial worms, aiding control programs. Other helminth infections: provides broad‑spectrum activity against multiple nematodes.

What are the side effects of Ivermectin?

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea - Dizziness - Diarrhea

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or severe skin rash - Hepatic injury - Anaphylactic reaction

What precautions apply to Ivermectin?

Use of Ivermectin requires careful consideration of patient‑specific factors. - Pregnancy: safety not established; avoid unless benefit outweighs risk. - Breastfeeding: unknown; consider potential exposure to infant. - Renal impairment: use with caution and monitor renal function. - Hepatic impairment: dose adjustment may be required; monitor liver enzymes. - Drug interactions: review concomitant medications for potential interactions. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and light.

What does Ivermectin interact with?

Ivermectin can interact with several drug classes, necessitating monitoring.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Co‑administration with strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin) may reduce efficacy. - Concurrent use with P‑glycoprotein inhibitors (e.g., verapamil) can increase plasma levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Warfarin: may enhance anticoagulant effect; monitor INR. - Macrolide antibiotics: potential increase in ivermectin exposure; observe for toxicity. - Anticonvulsants: may alter seizure threshold; assess clinical response.

Frequently asked questions

What conditions is Ivermectin Substipharm used to treat?+
Ivermectin Substipharm is used to treat parasitic infections such as onchocerciasis, strongyloidiasis, scabies, lymphatic filariasis and other helminth infections. It works by targeting the parasites responsible for these diseases, helping to eliminate the infection and reduce associated symptoms.
How does ivermectin work against parasites?+
Ivermectin binds to glutamate‑gated chloride channels in the nervous and muscular systems of parasites. This binding increases chloride ion flow, causing hyperpolarisation, paralysis, and ultimately death of the parasite, thereby interrupting its life cycle.

The dosage of Ivermectin Substipharm is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the specific indication, patient weight, age, and clinical condition. Only a qualified healthcare professional should set the appropriate dose and schedule.
