Product Information

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: liver problems. To help avoid interactions, your doctor should manage all of your medications carefully. Be sure to tell your doctor about all medications, vitamins, or herbs you’re taking. To find out how this drug might interact with something else you’re taking, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. Comparison of subjective symptom scores between the ivermectin and control groups. The SPEED questionnaire was used to assess the symptom score (0–28 points). The asterisk indicates statistically significant changes in the SPEED score in the ivermectin group. The dagger indicates statistically significant changes in the SPEED score in the control group. The double dagger indicates statistically significant differences between the ivermectin and control groups. The asterisk, dagger, and double dagger indicate P< 0.05 per repeated-measures ANOVA with Tukey's HSD post hoc test. ANOVA, analysis of variance; HSD, honestly significant difference. Typical dosage: 200 mcg/kg of body weight taken as one dose. Most children won’t need more than one dose.

Adults and children weighing 15 kilograms (kg) or more—Dose is based on body weight and must be determined by your doctor. The dose is usually 200 micrograms (mcg) per kilogram (kg) of body weight taken as a single dose. Each tablet contains 3 milligrams (mg) of ivermectin. Data that further illuminates the potential protective role of ivermectin against COVID-19 come from a study of nursing home residents in France which reported that in a facility that suffered a scabies outbreak where all 69 residents and 52 staff were treated with ivermectin, 41 they found that during the period surrounding this event, 7 of the 69 residents fell ill with COVID-19 (10.1%). In this group with an average age of 90 years, only one resident required oxygen support and no resident died. In a matched control group of residents from surrounding facilities, they found 22.6% of residents fell ill and 4.9% died. Bancroftian filariasis: 0.4 mg/kg orally once yearly (with a single annual dose of diethylcarbamazine 6 mg/kg), for 4 to 6 years Recovery time 6.3 versus 13.6 days ( P<0.001), 0% versus 27.3% mortality in severely ill ( P = 0.052)You will need to have a stool exam after taking ivermectin to make sure the infection is gone. Some patients may need to take another dose of ivermectin to treat the infection. If you take too much: This is not likely because in many cases, you’ll take this drug one time only, as a single dose. However, if you take too much or your dose is too high, you could have dangerous levels of this drug in your body. Symptoms of an overdose of this drug can include: Ivermectin may make you feel dizzy. To lower the chance of feeling dizzy or passing out, rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. Be careful going up and down stairs. Before taking this medicine The continued challenges faced by health care providers in deciding on appropriate therapeutic interventions in patients with COVID-19 would be greatly eased if more updated and commensurate evidence-based guidance came from the leading governmental health care agencies. Currently, in the United States, the treatment guidelines for COVID-19 are issued by the National Institutes of Health. Their most recent recommendation on the use of ivermectin in patients with COVID-19 was last updated on February 11, 2021, where they found that “there was insufficient evidence to recommend for or against ivermectin in COVID-19.” For a more definitive recommendation to be issued by major leading public health agencies (PHA), it is apparent that even more data on both the quality and quantity of trials are needed, even during a global health care emergency, and in consideration of a safe, oral, low-cost, widely available and deployable intervention such as ivermectin.

Oral ivermectin–metronidazole combined therapy showed superior efficacy for reducing the number of Demodex-infected eyelashes compared with oral ivermectin therapy alone. 15 Similarly, topical application of ivermectin 0.1%–metronidazole 1% gel achieved complete eradication of Demodex in 96.6% of patients with Demodex blepharitis. 14 Notably, the complete remission rate attained by topical ivermectin–metronidazole gel was greater than that achieved by systemic ivermectin treatment. 14 Although it is not known whether oral ivermectin or topical ivermectin have a better therapeutic effect in Demodex blepharitis patients, it is known that the addition of metronidazole for both oral and/or topical ivermectin can provide additional therapeutic effects. Metronidazole has acaricidal, anti-inflammatory, inhibition of reactive oxygen species, and antibacterial activity through its active metabolites. 15, 31– 33 Therefore, it is believed that adding these several activities of metronidazole to the antiparasitic and anti-inflammatory activities of ivermectin could further reduce the number of Demodex-infected eyelashes and improve clinical signs and symptoms. To effectively treat your infection, you may need to take ivermectin again several months to a year after your first dose. Eye problems warning: This drug may cause eye problems. These may be due to allergic and inflammatory reactions. The symptoms of these eye issues may look like the symptoms of your parasitic infection. Talk with your doctor if you have any issues with your eyes such as redness, pain, swelling, and vision changes. All possible dosages and drug forms may not be included here. Your dosage, drug form, and how often you take the drug will depend on:Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention. Another RCT of ivermectin treatment in 116 outpatients was performed by Chowdhury et al in Bangladesh where they compared a group of 60 patients treated with the combination of ivermectin/doxycycline to a group of 60 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine/doxycycline with a primary outcome of time to negative PCR. 54 Although they found no difference in this outcome, in the treatment group, the time to symptomatic recovery approached statistical significance (5.9 days vs. 7.0 days, P = 0.07). In another smaller RCT of 62 patients by Podder et al, they also found a shorter time to symptomatic recovery that approached statistical significance (10.1 days vs. 11.5 days, P> 0.05, 95% CI, 0.86–3.67). 55 The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine. Fortunately, large teams sponsored by 2 different organizations have embarked on this effort. One team, sponsored by the Unitaid/WHO's ACT Accelerator Program and led by the University of Liverpool Senior Research Fellow Dr. Andrew Hill, is performing a systematic review and meta-analysis focused solely on ivermectin treatment RCTs in COVID-19. Although a preliminary meta-analysis of 17 RCTs was posted to a preprint server in February, it is expected that by March 19, 2021, results from approximately 27–29 RCTs including almost 4500 patients will be presented to the WHO Guidelines Committee and that the epidemiologic studies reviewed above by Chamie et al were already presented to the committee in early March (personal communication with Dr. Andrew Hill). It is important to note that on February 5, the WHO Guidelines Committee announced that they had begun a review of the accumulating ivermectin data and expected to arrive at their own formal treatment recommendation within 4–6 weeks. If the above benefits in clinical outcomes continue to be reported in the remaining trials, it is hoped that this almost doubling of the current supportive evidence base would merit a recommendation for use by the WHO, NIH, and other PHA's would be forthcoming.

Other Medical ProblemsRemember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Research in animals has shown adverse effects to the fetus when the mother takes the drug. There haven’t been enough studies in humans to be certain how the drug might affect the fetus. Ivermectin oral tablet can interact with other medications, vitamins, or herbs you may be taking. An interaction is when a substance changes the way a drug works. This can be harmful or prevent the drug from working well. Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use. Precautions Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of ivermectin in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver, kidney, or heart problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving this medicine.
