Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug that was originally developed to treat parasites like heartworm and lice. It's also used for treating certain types of parasitic infections, including roundworms and fleas.
When Ivermectin enters the body through the skin, it binds to receptors on nerve cells in the muscles and nerves of the body. This causes an electrical change in those cells, which then causes them to release chemicals called neurotransmitters that kill worms.
Ivermectin is generally considered safe for use in humans when taken as prescribed by a doctor. However, some people may experience side effects, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, or abdominal pain. Severe side effects, such as anaphylaxis, can occur in rare cases. Before taking Ivermectin, it is important to discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and any other medications you are taking with our online doctor to ensure the drug is safe for you to use. If you experience severe side effects, stop taking the medication and contact our telemedicine doctor immediately.
