Ivermectin is a familiar antiparasitic, on the U.S. market since about 1996 and available as a generic, that kills worms and lice by paralyzing them through channels in their nerve and muscle cells. As tablets it is a standard treatment for strongyloidiasis (a gut worm infection) and river blindness, a lotion treats head lice, and a cream treats rosacea bumps. The single tablet dose is usually well tolerated, with dizziness, nausea or itching the complaints people mention most. Get medical help right away for confusion, extreme drowsiness or seizures, rare nervous system effects reported even at normal doses, or for a blistering, peeling rash.
Clinical pearls
- Swallow ivermectin tablets with water on an empty stomach, as the label directs, rather than with a meal.
- Livestock brands like Ivomec and Bimectin are not for people, so use only the product prescribed or labeled for your condition.
- If you take warfarin, ask about an extra INR clotting check, since ivermectin has rarely pushed INR up.
- For river blindness, fever, itching or swollen glands can follow as parasites die, and the tablets do not kill adult worms.
Patient information guide A plain-language walkthrough of Ivermectin, written from its FDA label.
What Ivermectin is used for
▾
Ivermectin treats several conditions, depending on the product.
- Stromectol and ivermectin tablets (oral): intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis.
- Ivermectin lotions (topical), including RID One and Done and Sklice: head lice.
- Soolantra and ivermectin cream 1% (topical): inflammatory lesions of rosacea.
How Ivermectin works
▾
Ivermectin binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels in the nerve and muscle cells of parasites. This lets chloride flow into the cells, which paralyzes and kills the parasite.
It is active against many, but not all, worm stages. It works on the young (microfilariae) forms of the onchocerciasis worm but not the adults. How the cream works on rosacea is unknown.
Ivermectin dosage
▾
How ivermectin is used depends on the product.
- Tablets: a single oral dose based on body weight, taken on an empty stomach with water. Extra doses are generally not needed, but follow-up stool tests check that strongyloidiasis is cleared.
- Head lice lotion: applied to dry hair and scalp, left on for 10 minutes, rinsed with water only. Wait 24 hours before shampooing.
- Cream: Soolantra is applied to the affected areas of the face once daily as a thin layer, avoiding eyes and lips.
Follow your prescriber's directions and the label.

Side effects vary by product and condition.
Common side effects
- Dizziness
- Itching
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Tiredness or weakness
- Rash
- Headache and muscle aches (onchocerciasis)
- Fast heartbeat (onchocerciasis)

- Get medical help right away for confusion, disorientation, extreme drowsiness, or loss of consciousness.
- Call your doctor for seizures.
- Seek care for a severe skin reaction such as blistering or peeling skin (toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome).
- Call your doctor if you feel faint or dizzy on standing, which can signal low blood pressure.
- Tell your doctor about worsening asthma, or signs of liver problems (hepatitis).
- If treated for onchocerciasis, report fever, swollen tender lymph nodes, joint pain, skin swelling, or eye changes.
Ivermectin warnings and precautions
▾
- Nervous system effects: confusion, disorientation, extreme drowsiness, coma, and death have been reported.
- Mazzotti reaction: people with onchocerciasis may have allergic and inflammatory reactions as parasites die.
- Other rare reports: low blood pressure, worsening asthma, severe skin reactions, seizures, and liver problems.
- Strongyloidiasis follow-up: larvae have returned in some patients, so stool exams are done over the following three months.
Ivermectin interactions
▾
The label notes one interaction.
- Warfarin: INR increases have rarely been reported, so clotting may need closer monitoring.
Interactions listed in the FDA-approved label
From the Ivermectin prescribing information (“Drug Interactions”): what the manufacturer studied or reported to the FDA.
- Warfarin: Increased INR (International Normalized Ratio) has been rarely reported in post-marketing reports when ivermectin was co-administered with warfarin.
Read the label’s full interactions text
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS In vitro studies have shown that ivermectin cream, at therapeutic concentrations, neither inhibits nor induces cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes.
Not a complete list. The label covers the interactions the manufacturer studied or reported, and our own interaction database does not cover every medicine either. Bring your full medication list, including vitamins and herbal products, to your pharmacist.
Before taking Ivermectin
▾
- Do not use if you are allergic to any component of the tablets.
- Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Adequate studies in pregnant women are lacking.
- Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding. Ivermectin was detectable in human milk after an oral dose.
- Children: safety and effectiveness of the cream have not been established. Lice lotions require adult supervision for ages 6 months to under 12 years.
- Older adults: no overall differences were seen with the cream, but some may be more sensitive.
Ivermectin overdose
▾
Nervous system problems, including drowsiness, confusion, coma, and death, have been reported with recommended doses and overdose. Accidental exposure to veterinary products has caused rash, swelling, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and seizures. Seek emergency help or call poison control; treatment is supportive.
What Ivermectin does in the body
▾
At therapeutic doses, ivermectin cream is not expected to prolong the QTc interval, a measure of the heart's electrical rhythm.
How your body processes Ivermectin
▾
After a dose by mouth, blood levels peak in about 4 hours. Ivermectin is broken down in the liver, mainly by the CYP3A4 enzyme. It leaves the body almost entirely in the stool over about 12 days, with under 1% in urine. Its half-life is about 18 hours. A high-fat meal increased absorption about 2.5-fold in one study, which is why tablets are taken on an empty stomach.
How to store Ivermectin
▾
store at room temperature 68º-77ºF (20º-25ºC) do not freeze keep carton and see Consumer Information Leaflet and warnings before use

How Ivermectin appears in the FDA’s National Drug Code Directory — including its dosage forms, strengths, brand names, manufacturers, and FDA-listed product records. These are directory records, not sales or prescription volume.
32 companies list 38 Ivermectin product records with the FDA, mostly as topical cream, ointment or gel, tablet; the earliest marketing or approval year on record is 1996. Brand names on the directory include Stromectol, Ivomec, Bimectin and 13 more; the rest are generics.

How widely Ivermectin is used (Medicaid data)
A general measure of how commonly Ivermectin is prescribed, based on Medicaid — one of the largest public drug programs. The figure below is prescriptions filled in Q1–Q4 2025, summed across every form and brand of the drug.
Think of this as a proxy for how widely Ivermectin is used, drawn from freely available public data. Medicaid is just one program — these numbers don’t include Medicare, other government coverage, or commercial and cash-pay prescriptions, so real-world use is higher than what’s shown here.
How commonly is Ivermectin prescribed? Of the 1,601 medications we measure, Ivermectin ranks #616 by Medicaid prescriptions — more than 62% of them.

Shares are of the Medicaid prescriptions shown here. Product grouping follows RxNorm (the National Library of Medicine’s drug terminology), so “one product” means one strength & dosage form regardless of manufacturer. Dollar figures are gross Medicaid reimbursement before mandatory rebates — rebates (often large, especially for brand-name drugs) are confidential, so actual net cost to Medicaid is lower than shown.
Source: Medicaid State Drug Utilization Data (CMS), aggregated by generic ingredient — summed across every NDC (all brands, strengths, salt forms and dosage forms) of Ivermectin, and across all states and both fee-for-service and managed-care claims. A general popularity signal; it excludes Medicare, commercial insurance and cash prescriptions, so it is not total U.S. use. Based on the 13 of 59 listed Ivermectin NDCs with Medicaid activity.
Compare Ivermectin products
A representative set of FDA-listed product records for Ivermectin — across manufacturers, strengths, and dosage forms, grouped by form with each product’s manufacturer and how the FDA approved it. The same medicine may be made and packaged by different companies, so a single drug can have many directory entries. (It’s also why a refill can look different — a new shape, color, or box — even though it contains the same medication.)

Ivermectin side effects reported to the FDA (FAERS)
After a medicine reaches the market, patients, doctors and drugmakers can send the FDA reports of problems they think may be linked to it. Here’s what’s been reported for Ivermectin — a signal of what to watch for, not proof the drug caused it.
Source: openFDA, from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). These are voluntary reports — they don’t prove the drug caused the effect, and counts reflect how often something was reported, not how often it actually happens. Reports also often name the very problem the medicine is taken for — a common reason to file one is that the drug didn’t help — so for a pain reliever you may see “pain” high on the list; that points to why the report was filed, not to the drug causing the symptom. This counts every report that lists Ivermectin in any role, so the total runs higher than the FDA’s official dashboard, which counts only cases where the drug is the suspect. For the authoritative figures, see the FDA FAERS Public Dashboard. Always talk to your pharmacist or doctor.
