Why is Stromectol prescribed?

Stromectol, with the generic name Ivermectin, is used to treat roundworm infections like strongyloidiasis (threadworm infection), which can affect the airways, the liver, and the intestines. It can also be used to control onchocerciasis, also known as river blindness, which causes rashes and vision problems.

What does it do?

Ivermectin belongs to a class of medications called anti-helminthics, which eliminate the worms responsible for the strongyloidiasis (intestinal worms) and onchocerciasis (developing worms).

How should I take it?

Stromectol is currently available as a 3mg tablet taken whole (not split, chewed, or crushed) by mouth without food. Stromectol can treat strongyloidiasis because it kills the adult intestinal threadworms. However, in the case of onchocerciasis, Stromectol can only be used to control but not treat the infection, because it only kills the developing worms and not the adult worms.

The dosage strength and frequency depend on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only take this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if taken properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, take it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never take two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.
