Invermectin the antiparasitic antibiotic

SummaryIvermectin has been a miraculous drug for many parasites, a single oral dose can cure many parasitic infestations with very little side effects. The only limitation in children is the age as there are very few studies in children under the age of five years to support the safety of the drug. Although the efficacy of Ivermectin has been established in humans against several parasite diseases, the pharmacokinetic properties of this compound are less well known in humans compared to animals. Potential drug-drug interactions and drug-food interactions exist for Ivermectin, which should be considered during therapeutic use of this drug.
