Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic drug approved in humans for treatment of certain tropical diseases. For humans, ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses to treat some parasitic worms, and topical (on the skin) formulations are used for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea.
Doctors can also prescribe a type of ivermectin that you put on your skin (called a topical medication) to treat head lice and skin conditions like rosacea and scabies. In animals, ivermectin can help prevent heartworm disease and certain parasites.
