Ivermectin is a medication that is used against many types of parasites. It is used to treat head lice, scabies, river blindness strongyloidiasis, and lymphatic filariasis, among others. It can be either applied to the skin or taken by mouth. The eyes should be avoided.
Common side effects include red eyes, dry skin, and burning skin. It is unclear if it is safe for use during pregnancy but is likely okay during breastfeeding.[sic] It works by causing the cell wall of invertebrates to become more permeable which results in their death. It is in the avermectin family of medications.
