Note: For scabies, a second dose is typically taken 7 to 15 days later to kill recently hatched mites.
Side effects are usually not serious and do not last long.
Yes. All household members and sexual partners should visit a doctor as soon as possible. If infected contacts are not treated at the same time, there is a danger they could re-infect you, even if they currently have no symptoms.
Ivermectin should be taken on an empty stomach because it is not yet known how food affects the way the medicine is absorbed into your body.
Not necessarily. Itching can last for up to 6 weeks even if the treatment has successfully eliminated the infestation. You will not know for sure if the treatment worked for about 4 weeks.
Normal washing of clothes and linen is recommended at the same time as treatment. Any items that cannot be washed should be placed in sealed bags for 3 days to ensure any remaining mites die.
Ivermectin is not “ovicidal,” meaning it does not kill the eggs. A second dose is given 7 to 15 days later to kill any mites that have hatched since the first dose was taken.
