Ivermectin tablets are used to treat a number of parasitic illnesses in humans, including onchocerciasis (river blindness) and strongyloidiasis (an intestinal infection brought on by roundworms). It helps the body get rid of parasites by paralyzing and destroying them. Typically, ivermectin is taken as a single, empty-handed dose; the dosage is determined by the patient's weight and health. Although it is usually well accepted, it can have adverse effects such mild skin rash, nausea, or dizziness. Ivermectin should only be taken under a doctor's supervision because abuse can have major negative effects on one's health. Off-label usage have also been researched in various areas, although these applications are still debatable and should be handled carefully.
