What is Ivermectin?

Ivermectin, the active ingredient in Ivermectina Cantabria, is an anthelmintic presented as an oral formulation for oral use. It treats several parasitic infections in humans, including river blindness, strongyloidiasis, scabies, lice and intestinal helminths.

GNH USA supplies Ivermectina Cantabria as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Ivermectin used for?

Ivermectin acts on a range of parasitic diseases by targeting the parasite's nervous system. - Onchocerciasis: reduces microfilarial load and helps prevent disease progression. - Strongyloidiasis: eliminates intestinal larvae and prevents disseminated infection. - Scabies: kills the Sarcoptes scabiei mite, relieving itching and skin lesions. - Lice infestations: eradicates head and body lice, stopping further spread. - Other intestinal helminth infections: clears various worm species from the gastrointestinal tract.

What are the side effects of Ivermectin?

Ivermectin is generally well tolerated, but adverse reactions can occur.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate stomach upset. - Diarrhea: loose stools during treatment. - Dizziness: transient light‑headedness. - Pruritus: mild skin itching. - Headache: occasional mild headache. - Fatigue: feeling of tiredness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe skin reactions: Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Neurological events: seizures, encephalopathy, or ataxia. - Hepatotoxicity: elevated liver enzymes or jaundice. - Hypotension: sudden drop in blood pressure. - Anaphylaxis: rare allergic reaction requiring immediate medical attention.

What precautions apply to Ivermectin?

What does Ivermectin interact with?

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin): may increase ivermectin plasma levels. - Anticonvulsants (e.g., carbamazepine): may reduce efficacy. - St. John’s Wort: possible reduction in drug concentration.

Frequently asked questions

What conditions is Ivermectina Cantabria used to treat?+
Ivermectina Cantabria contains ivermectin, which is prescribed for parasitic infections such as onchocerciasis (river blindness), strongyloidiasis, scabies, lice infestations and various intestinal helminth infections. It works by targeting the parasite’s nervous system, leading to its death.
How does ivermectin work against parasites?+
Ivermectin binds to glutamate‑gated chloride channels in the nerve and muscle cells of invertebrates. This increases chloride ion flow, hyperpolarising the cells, causing paralysis and eventual death of the parasite while sparing human cells.
What is the usual dose of Ivermectina Cantabria?+
The dose of Ivermectina Cantabria is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the specific infection, patient weight, age and clinical condition. Only a qualified healthcare professional should set the dosing regimen.
