TabletsClinical Overview
Ivermectin is an antiparasitic macrocyclic lactone derived from Streptomyces avermitilis. It binds with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels found exclusively in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells, leading to increased chloride permeability, hyperpolarization, paralysis, and death of the parasite. Indicated for strongyloidiasis, onchocerciasis (river blindness), scabies (crusted or refractory), cutaneous larva migrans, and lymphatic filariasis (in combination with albendazole or DEC).

Usage Guidelines
Disperse tablet in water or swallow on an empty stomach with a large glass of water, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. Take as a single oral dose or as instructed by your doctor. Complete all follow-up testing.
General Administration Advice: Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage, frequency, and treatment course. For oral medications, swallow with sufficient water. Never stop antibiotics, psychiatric medications, or antihypertensives abruptly without clinical direction.
Possible Side Effects
Common: Dizziness, pruritus, mild skin rash, headache, muscle pain, nausea. Rare/Severe: Mazzotti-type inflammatory reaction in onchocerciasis, encephalopathy in patients with high Loa loa microfilarial burden, and orthostatic hypotension.
*Note: Individual physiological responses vary. While many patients experience few or no side effects, notify your treating physician if adverse reactions persist or if hypersensitivity (angioedema, skin rash, dyspnea) occurs.
Precautions & Warnings
Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity or impaired blood-brain barrier (e.g. African trypanosomiasis, meningitis). Avoid in pregnancy and children weighing < 15 kg. In areas co-endemic for Loa loa, rule out loiasis prior to treatment to avoid severe encephalopathy.
Schedule H (Prescription Required)

Albendazole 400mg + Ivermectin 6mg Tablets
Albendazole and Ivermectin is a synergistic broad-spectrum anthelmintic combination. Albendazole binds to helminth tubulin, blocking microtubule assembly and depleting glycogen stores, while ivermectin selectively binds glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells, increasing membrane permeability and causing flaccid paralysis of the parasite. Indicated for mixed intestinal helminthiasis, lymphatic filariasis, strongyloidiasis, enterobiasis (pinworm), ascariasis (roundworm), and hookworm infections.
Ivermectin Cream 1% w/w
Ivermectin Cream 1% w/w is an evidence-based dermatological formulation. It acts by delivering targeted active therapeutic ingredients to cutaneous lesions to relieve skin pathology, restore barrier integrity, and manage dermatoses.
Ivermectin 1.5mg + Albendazole 200mg Oral Suspension
Albendazole and Ivermectin is a synergistic broad-spectrum anthelmintic combination. Albendazole binds to helminth tubulin, blocking microtubule assembly and depleting glycogen stores, while ivermectin selectively binds glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells, increasing membrane permeability and causing flaccid paralysis of the parasite. Indicated for mixed intestinal helminthiasis, lymphatic filariasis, strongyloidiasis, enterobiasis (pinworm), ascariasis (roundworm), and hookworm infections.
