Abstract
Since the introduction of ivermectin for the treatment of scabies, reports of adverse events are rare although this drug can cause cardiac dysfunction and liver disease in other indications. In our cases, the causal relationship with ivermectin is probable and care must be taken, particularly in the elderly, the population in which this drug is probably most widely prescribed.
