Ivermectin, also sold under the brand name Stromectol, is an FDA-approved antiparasitic medication used to treat a range of internal and external parasitic infections in humans.
from $1.75 per tablet
Originally developed for veterinary use, ivermectin has been a breakthrough treatment in global health—particularly for diseases like river blindness (onchocerciasis) and strongyloidiasis. With the rise in telemedicine and online pharmacies, many are now looking to get ivermectin for humans online — safely, legally, and affordably. This guide explains what ivermectin is, what it treats, how to use it, and how to obtain it online from trusted sources.
Ivermectin is an anthelmintic, or anti-parasitic, drug. It works by interfering with the nervous system of certain parasites, ultimately killing them or paralyzing them so your body can eliminate them naturally. It was developed in the late 1970s and approved for human use in the 1980s.
Its primary use is in the treatment of infections caused by roundworms, threadworms, and other parasitic worms.
Ivermectin is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines and has saved millions of lives around the world.
Generic ivermectin is medically identical to Stromectol but usually much cheaper. It is widely available through legitimate online pharmacies with a prescription.
Ivermectin binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels in parasites, paralyzing and killing them. It is highly selective for invertebrates and safe for human cells at prescribed doses.
It’s usually taken on an empty stomach with water. The dosage depends on your body weight and the condition being treated.
Ivermectin has been used in global health programs to fight diseases like river blindness and lymphatic filariasis. Its safety and effectiveness have been proven across millions of patients.
Some symptoms are due to the immune system’s reaction to dying parasites, known as the Mazzotti reaction.
Yes, but only from licensed and reputable pharmacies.
