Frequently asked questions

What is Ivermectine Zentiva used for?+
Ivermectine Zentiva contains ivermectin, an anthelmintic indicated for the treatment of onchocerciasis (river blindness), strongyloidiasis, scabies, lice infestations and other helminth infections. It is prescribed by a qualified health professional for patients who require parasite eradication.
How does ivermectin work?+
Ivermectin works by binding to glutamate‑gated chloride channels in the nerve and muscle cells of parasites. This increases chloride ion flow, hyperpolarising the cells, which leads to paralysis and death of the parasite while having limited effect on human cells.
What is the usual dose of Ivermectine Zentiva?+
The exact dose of Ivermectine Zentiva is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the specific indication, patient weight, age and clinical condition. Standard dosing regimens vary, and the prescriber will provide individualized instructions.
Is Ivermectine Zentiva safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
