Descriere
Ivermectin is an oral antiparasitic medication used to help treat a range of parasitic infections, including scabies, certain intestinal worms, and other parasitic conditions.
For scabies, Ivermectin is often prescribed when topical treatments like permethrin are ineffective or impractical. This includes widespread infestations, crusted scabies, or patients who have difficulty applying creams. It works by targeting the nervous system of the mites, which typically results in paralysis and death of the parasites and their larvae. Treatment usually involves one dose, followed by another after 1–2 weeks to eliminate any remaining parasites.
For parasitic infections like strongyloidiasis or onchocerciasis, Ivermectin interferes with the parasite’s nervous system, disrupting neurotransmission and helping to clear the infection. It is often included in public health campaigns in endemic areas due to its broad efficacy and safety profile.
Ivermectin is usually well tolerated under medical supervision. Mild side effects such as headache, dizziness, nausea, or rash may occur. In individuals with a high parasite burden, symptoms may temporarily intensify due to the body’s inflammatory response to dying parasites.
