Severe skin reactions, such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, have been associated with ivermectin treatment. Stop taking ivermectin and seek medical attention immediately if you observe any of the symptoms described in section 4 related to these severe skin reactions.
Before starting your treatment with this medication, inform your doctor about your complete medical history. Inform your doctor:
- If you have a weakened immune system (immunodeficiency).
