Ivermectin Dosage for Humans Parasites | Genericcures
Ivermectin is a widely used antiparasitic medication for treating various parasitic infections in humans, including scabies, river blindness (onchocerciasis), strongyloidiasis, and other worm infestations. The dosage of Human Ivermectin depends on the condition being treated, body weight, and medical history.
For most parasitic infections, the standard oral dose is 200 micrograms per kilogram of body weight (µg/kg) as a single dose. In cases of strongyloidiasis, a repeated dose may be required after two weeks. For scabies, a single oral dose is usually effective, but severe cases may need a second dose after one to two weeks.
Ivermectin should be taken on an empty stomach with a full glass of water for better absorption. Dosage adjustments may be necessary for people with liver or kidney issues. Always follow a doctor's prescription to ensure safe and effective use.
