1. What is Ivertilene and what is it used for

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

It is used to treat:

  • A gastrointestinal infectioncalled strongyloidiasis (anguilulosis), caused by a type of nematode called Strongyloides stercoralis.
  • A blood infectioncalled 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 larvae.
  • Scabies (skin mites). It occurs when tiny mites are introduced under the skin. This can cause intense itching. This medicine should only be taken when your doctor checks or believes you have scabies.

Ivermectin does not prevent you from getting these infections. It does not act against adult worms. Ivermectin should only be taken when your doctor checks or believes you have a parasitic infection.
