Ivermectin is an antiparasitic medication widely used to treat various parasitic infections in humans and animals. It belongs to the class of drugs known as avermectins and works by interfering with the nervous system of parasites, ultimately leading to their paralysis and death. In humans, ivermectin is primarily used to treat conditions such as onchocerciasis (river blindness), strongyloidiasis, lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis), scabies, and certain types of parasitic skin infections. It is also used in veterinary medicine to prevent and treat parasites in livestock and pets. Human Ivermectin is available in various formulations, including tablets, creams, and lotions, and is typically administered orally or topically, depending on the specific condition being treated. While ivermectin is generally safe and effective when used as prescribed, it’s essential to use it only under the guidance of a healthcare professional or veterinarian to ensure proper dosing and to minimize the risk of adverse effects.
