FAQ

A prescription is required to buy ivermectin tablets from local pharmacies in Canada. Our store policy allows you to order the tablets without a prescription and have them sent by mail.

Take unused or expired tablets to a pharmacy or an authorized medication take-back program when available. Do not share leftover tablets or keep them for a different illness, and do not flush them unless local disposal instructions specifically say to do so.

Not necessarily. Tablets with the same active ingredient, ivermectin, may contain different fillers, coatings, dyes, or other inactive ingredients depending on the manufacturer. The exact supplied tablet ingredients should be checked on the received package or product leaflet, especially if an ingredient must be avoided.

Do not take the tablets until the discrepancy has been checked. Compare the active ingredient, tablet strength, dosage form, and package label with the order details; a different strength can change the number of tablets needed for a prescribed dose.

The available tablet strengths are 3 mg, 6 mg, and 12 mg. The appropriate strength and number of tablets depend on the indication and the prescribed weight-based dose.

Ivermectin is an antiparasitic medicine used for susceptible parasitic worm infections, including intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis. It is also used in some settings for other specific parasitic infections, but suitability depends on the parasite and the treatment plan.

Ivermectin tablets are taken by mouth with water, usually on an empty stomach. The dose is selected according to the infection and body weight, and some conditions require a repeat dose or follow-up rather than a prolonged daily course. Follow the regimen given for the specific infection.

Ivermectin tablets should generally be avoided during pregnancy because safety in pregnancy has not been established and animal studies found developmental harm at high, maternally toxic exposures. Ivermectin passes into breast milk in low amounts; breastfeeding use requires an individual assessment of the benefit of treatment and the possible risk to the nursing infant.

Description

Stromectol (Ivermectin) was invented as a remedy for diseases caused by parasites. Stromectol is used to treat the adverse effects caused by parasites that have penetrated animals or humans. 

This drug helps to treat:

  • head lice;
  • scabies;
  • strongyloidiasis;
  • trichuriasis;
  • ascariasis;
  • lymphatic filariasis.

Ivermectin was discovered by scientists Satoshi Ōmura and William Campbell in 1975. However, the drug began to be actively used in medicine in 1981. Medication saved people from the so-called River Blindness disease, prevalent in most African countries. 

Ivermectin Present Absent

This disease was caused by parasitic worms, and in many cases, it led to complete blindness. Unfortunately, at that time, doctors could not cure River Blindness. But when Stromectol was invented, treatment of the disease became possible. 

Drug usage helped to fight River Blindness and save millions of people. Its peculiarity was in provoking the death of the parasite in the human body, with minimal impact on human health. Moreover, the drug did not cause inflammation and caused minimum side effects. 

Due to its effectiveness and safety, Ivermectin is actively used in medicine nowadays as a drug that treats diseases caused by various parasites.

NDC is 55695-019 (0006-0032).

Onchocerciasis

Onchocerciasis affects the eyes, skin, and lymph nodes. When the parasite is exposed to the eye, the patient may experience pain, suffer from conjunctivitis, or even lose vision. Skin symptoms include rash, spots of various shades (pale or dark), rough skin, subcutaneous nodules, and loss of skin elasticity. 

Strongyloidiasis

The disease will spread to the skin and intestines if a patient is diagnosed with strongyloidiasis. Symptoms include discomfort in the stomach: 

  • pain;
  • diarrhea;
  • vomiting.

A person can also feel dizzy. In addition, an itchy rash may appear on the skin.

Interactions of Stromectol With Other Medicines

Before taking different medications with Stromectol, you need to know whether this will lead to serious side effects. Some medications can be safely taken together. However, a combination of some drugs can harm a person's health. That is why, before taking two different types of drugs, you need to ask whether it is safe. Ivermectin can be used with barbiturates (phenobarbital, butalbital) , benzodiazepines (clonazepam, lorazepam), sodium oxybate, and valproic acid.

Possible Side Effects of Stromectol

Like any other medicine, Ivermectin can cause side effects. 

Side effects occur individually; each person has different side effects, and some do not feel them at all. 

Side effects are divided into safe and dangerous. You need to see a doctor immediately if you feel any dangerous side effects. For example, if you feel irritation, pain, and redness of the eyes or eyelid, it is a sign that you need to seek professional help urgently.  

However, there are minor side effects that are not dangerous to humans. During treatment for onchocerciasis, the patient may notice the following side effects:

  • fever;
  • skin irritation;
  • muscle and joint pain;
  • palpitations. 

Rare side effects are the following:

  • headaches;
  • increased sweating.

In rare cases, the patient may feel dizzy after getting up from a sitting or lying position. If you are treated for Strongyloidiasis, you may feel the following:

  • loss of appetite;
  • shaking or trembling;
  • drowsiness.

If you experience symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, you should contact your doctor immediately:

  • rash;
  • irritation;
  • itching;
  • shortness of breath.

Precautions

Although Ivermectin is safe for both children and adults, scientists have not yet proven if it is safe for pregnant women or not. After all, during breastfeeding, drugs are excreted in milk. Therefore, it is not advisable to use it during breastfeeding.

How Long Does Stromectol Stay in Your System?

After intake, GABA is released, which leads to paralysis of the worms. Parasites lose the ability to feed and attach to the intestinal wall, resulting in death. The parasitic infection comes out together with fecal masses. When the drug enters the body, the main component is absorbed into the blood and spreads throughout the digestive system. The drug is evenly distributed throughout the body and even gets on the mucous membranes of the eyes. 

Medication is completely removed from the body in twenty-eight hours.

During treatment, your doctor will check the progress of the disease. If you are treated for River Blindness, you must see an ophthalmologist after completing the treatment. Your doctor may assign stool analysis within three months after treatment.

Storage

It should be stored in a dry place; the temperature should not exceed 30° C. Overheating the drug may cause it to lose its properties. Therefore, it should be stored in a box, away from heat and moisture (bathroom). Also, keep away from children and animals.

Stromectol has significant advantages when treating a variety of parasite infections. Thanks to its broad-spectrum activity, it works well against a variety of parasites, such as roundworms, threadworms, and several mite species. Stromectol's oral and topical forms provide flexibility and ease of use in administration, and its known safety profile allows it to be used confidently in a wide range of patient populations. Because of its effectiveness in eliminating parasitic infestations, those afflicted with these infections experience better health and a higher quality of life.

Customer questions

Asked by Megan C, Saskatoon, Canada

My ivermectin package reached Saskatoon after being outside in very cold weather. What should I check before I use the tablets?

Answered by Support team

Keep the package and check the label, expiry date, and tablets for damage, moisture, cracking, or an unusual appearance. The labelled storage limit is below 30 °C, but the temperature and duration of cold exposure are unknown; if the package or tablets appear compromised, have them assessed before use.

No. Oral ivermectin is not an established treatment or preventive medicine for COVID-19, and it should not be used for that purpose. These tablets are intended for specific parasitic infections.
