Patient summary
Ivermectin 3mg, 6mg and 12mg tablets, used for strongyloidiasis, scabies and onchocerciasis. It binds chloride channels found only in invertebrates.
Mechanism of action
Ivermectin binds selectively to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. This increases the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions, resulting in hyperpolarisation of the nerve or muscle cell, resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite.
Stromectol is the established brand name for Ivermectin, an antiparasitic medication effective in the treatment of diseases such as Strongyloidiasis, Scabies, and Onchocerciasis. This medicine is available as a tablet in strengths of 3mg, 6mg, and 12mg to suit individual requirements.
