Ivermectin is an antiparasitic medication that treats a variety of parasitic infections in humans. It is most commonly used to treat intestinal strongyloidiasis, an infection caused by the nematode Strongyloides stercoralis. This condition can lead to severe gastrointestinal symptoms, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Ivermectin is also effective in treating onchocerciasis, or river blindness, which is caused by the nematode Onchocerca volvulus. This infection can result in severe itching, skin changes, and vision impairment, potentially leading to blindness if left untreated. By paralyzing and killing the parasites, ivermectin helps to alleviate the symptoms and clear the infections.

In addition to its use for these specific conditions, Ivermectin for Sale is employed off-label to treat other parasitic infections, such as scabies and head lice, which are caused by mites and lice, respectively. It is also sometimes used to treat filariasis, which includes infections like lymphatic filariasis and loiasis. Recently, ivermectin has attracted attention for its potential use in treating COVID-19, although its efficacy for this purpose is not conclusively proven and is not widely endorsed by health authorities. While ivermectin is generally well-tolerated, side effects can occur, including dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, and skin rash. In rare cases, more severe reactions may arise, especially in patients with a heavy parasite load or certain health conditions. Therefore, it is essential to use ivermectin under the supervision of a healthcare professional to ensure its safe and effective use.
