Ivermectin Toxicity Management

Special Considerations

• Patients with severe liver disease may be at higher risk for toxicity as the safety of ivermectin in this population is not well established, according to the MMWR Recommendations and Reports 1
• Patients who have ingested ivermectin should be educated about proper dosing for approved indications, with standard dosing for approved parasitic infections typically being 200-250 μg/kg, as recommended by a medical guideline society 2
