Stromectol (Ivermectin)

Stromectol is a prescription dewormer medication used to treat roundworm infections. It is an anthelmintic medication that works by paralyzing and eliminating these parasitic worms so that further health complications from contracting these intestinal worms do not occur and the patient is able to get past the infection quickly. This is particularly important for people with weakened immune systems who have picked up roundworms and are at greater risk because of it. Stromectol is taken orally, and most people taking the medication are free of worms in a short period of time.

Directions

The standard Stromectol dose is one tablet taken on an empty stomach 1 hour before a meal.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in Stromectol is Ivermectin.
