Ivermectin is used in the treatment of parasitic infections.

How Ivermectin works

Ivermectin is an antiparasitic medication. It works by binding to the muscle and nerve cells of worms, causing their paralysis and death. This treats your infection.

• Ivermectin helps treat parasitic infections of your intestinal tract, skin, and eyes.
• Take it on an empty stomach with a full glass of water.
• You usually need to take it only once to get rid of your infection. However, if you don’t feel better after taking it, talk to your doctor.
• Drink lots of fluids and avoid caffeine when taking this medication.
• Your doctor may get stool and blood tests after taking the medication to see if you have gotten rid of the infection.
• Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or breastfeeding.
