Use of Stromectol (Ivermectin )
What is it used for?
Stromectol is primarily used to treat a variety of parasitic infections, including:
- Onchocerciasis (River Blindness): A parasitic disease caused by the Onchocerca volvulus worm.
- Strongyloidiasis: An infection by the Strongyloides stercoralis worm.
- Lymphatic Filariasis: A disease caused by infection with the filarial worms Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori.
- Scabies: A skin condition caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei.
- Head Lice: An infestation of the scalp by the Pediculus humanus capitis.
In addition to these, Stromectol is also used off-label for other conditions as prescribed by healthcare professionals.
How does it work?
Ivermectin works by binding to glutamate-gated chloride channels found in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. This binding increases the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions, resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite. For lice and scabies, it disrupts the nervous system of the parasites, killing them and stopping the infection.
What is the Typical Dose?
The dosage of Stromectol varies depending on the condition being treated:
- Intestinal Strongyloidiasis: The typical dose for adults is a single oral dose of 200 mcg/kg.
- Onchocerciasis: The standard dose is a single oral dose of 150 mcg/kg, which may be repeated every 3-12 months depending on the patient’s needs and the severity of the infection.
- Lice and Scabies: For off-label use, the dose is often 200 mcg/kg, taken as a single dose and repeated after one week.
