1. What is Ivermectin Teva and what is it used for

This medication contains the active substance ivermectin. It is a type of medication used to treat infections caused by some parasites.

It is used to treat:

  • A intestinal infection called strongyloidiasis (anguilulosis), caused by a type of nematode called Strongyloides stercoralis.
  • A blood infection called microfilaremia due to lymphatic filariasis. It is a condition caused by a larva called Wuchereria bancrofti. Ivermectin does not act against adult worms, only against the larvae.
  • Scabies (skin mites). It occurs when tiny mites are introduced under the skin. This can cause intense itching. This medication should only be used when your doctor confirms or suspects that you have scabies.

This medication does not prevent you from contracting these infections. It does not act against adult worms.

This medication should only be used when your doctor confirms or suspects that you have a parasitic infection.

2. What you need to know before taking Ivermectin Teva

Do not take Ivermectin Teva

If you are allergic to ivermectin or any of the other ingredients of this medication (listed in section 6). The signs of an allergic reaction to a medication can include skin rash, difficulty breathing, or fever.

Do not take this medication if you are in any of the above cases. If you have doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take this medication.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Ivermectin Teva.

In particular, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication if:

  • You have a weakened immune system.
  • You live or have lived in an area of Africa where there are cases of human parasitic infestation with the filarial parasite Loa loa, also known as the eye worm.
  • If you currently live in or have lived in Africa.
  • You live or have spent time in African areas. The use of diethylcarbamazine citrate (DEC) if you are infected with Onchocerca volvulusmay increase the risk of side effects, which can sometimes be serious.

If any of the above applies to your case (or you are not sure), consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication.

Children

The safety of using this medication in children under 15 kg in weight has not been evaluated.

Elderly

Clinical studies conducted with this medication have not included sufficient patients aged 65 or over to determine if their response is different from that of younger patients. Other clinical experimentation has not identified differences when comparing the response of elderly patients to that of younger patients. In general, the treatment of an elderly patient should be cautious and take into account that in this age group there is a higher incidence of liver, kidney, or heart failure, as well as concomitant diseases and pharmacological treatments.

Other medications and Ivermectin Teva

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

  • Consult your doctor immediately before taking ivermectin if you are pregnant or may become pregnant. If you are pregnant, you should only take it if it is clearly necessary. You and your doctor will decide this.
  • Talk to your doctor if you are breast-feeding or plan to breast-feed. This is because ivermectin passes into breast milk. Your doctor may decide to start your treatment one week after the birth of your child.

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Driving and using machines

After taking ivermectin, you may experience dizziness, drowsiness, tremors, or a feeling of spinning. If you experience these symptoms, do not drive or use machines.
