Ivermectin is an oral antiparasitic medicine widely used for the treatment of scabies, a contagious skin infestation caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. Unlike topical treatments such as permethrin cream, ivermectin works systemically, making it a preferred option in cases of widespread infection, crusted scabies, or when topical application is difficult. The usual recommended dosage of Ivermectin for Scabies is 200 micrograms per kilogram (mcg/kg) of body weight, taken as a single oral dose. Because scabies mites may survive the first treatment cycle, a second dose is typically advised after 7 to 14 days. This ensures that newly hatched mites are eliminated before they can mature and reproduce. For example, an adult weighing 70 kilograms (about 154 pounds) would generally require a 12 mg dose, which may be repeated after two weeks. Ivermectin tablets should be taken on an empty stomach with a glass of water for maximum absorption. It is important not to exceed the prescribed dosage and to follow medical advice carefully, as inappropriate use can reduce effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects. For patients with crusted (Norwegian) scabies, multiple doses of ivermectin may be required, often combined with topical therapies for best results. Children weighing less than 15 kg (33 pounds) and pregnant or breastfeeding women are usually not prescribed ivermectin unless recommended by a doctor. Correct dosage, combined with proper hygiene measures such as washing bedding and clothing in hot water, is essential to fully clear the infection and prevent reinfestation. Consulting a healthcare professional ensures the safest and most effective treatment plan. Go to Site:- BuyCheapMedicine.com |
