The recommended dosage of ivermectin tablets for treating parasitic infections in humans depends on the specific type of infection. For intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis (river blindness), the typical oral dose is 0.15-0.2 mg/kg as a single dose. For example, an adult weighing 60 kg would take 9-12 mg (3-4 tablets of the 3 mg strength) as a single dose.
For strongyloidiasis, patients may require repeated or suppressive treatment, especially if immunocompromised. Ivermectin Medicine is not approved to treat COVID-19, and the FDA has warned against using it for this purpose, as the available data does not support its use and it can cause serious side effects. Ivermectin should only be taken as prescribed by a doctor for an approved indication. The tablets should be taken on an empty stomach with water. Dosages should be adjusted based on the patient's weight, age, and specific parasitic infection being treated.
