Can I buy generic Stromectol (ivermectin) 12 mg legally, and where is it sold?
“Stromectol” is a brand name for ivermectin. Whether you can get a “generic Stromectol 12 mg” depends on (1) what country you’re in and (2) whether a local pharmacy can dispense ivermectin tablets in that strength. In many places, ivermectin is prescription-only for most indications, so a doctor’s prescription is usually required.
The most reliable options are:
- Local pharmacies that dispense prescription ivermectin tablets (ask specifically for “ivermectin 12 mg tablets,” not just “Stromectol”).
- Clinic/telehealth services in your country that can prescribe ivermectin and then send the prescription to a partnering pharmacy.
If you tell me your country (and whether you need it for a specific condition), I can narrow this to the most realistic purchasing routes.
What if I’m looking online—how do I avoid counterfeit or unsafe “generic Stromectol”?
You should avoid websites that:
- Offer ivermectin without a prescription where prescriptions are required.
- Don’t list a licensed pharmacy/verification details.
- Have unclear labeling, no batch/lot information, or prices far below local norms.
Counterfeit ivermectin is a known risk with online “generic” medicines, so the safer approach is to buy through a licensed pharmacy in your jurisdiction.
Is there a “12 mg” generic specifically, or should I ask for a different tablet strength?
In many markets, ivermectin generics may come in different strengths (for example, 3 mg or 6 mg tablets), so pharmacists sometimes dispense multiple tablets to match a 12 mg dose. If your prescription specifies “12 mg,” ask the pharmacist whether they have 12 mg tablets or whether they can dispense an equivalent using available strengths.
What do I need to ask the pharmacy or prescriber?
When you contact a pharmacy, ask:
- “Do you stock ivermectin 12 mg tablets (generic to Stromectol)?”
- “Is it prescription-only here?”
- “Can you confirm the manufacturer and strength on the packaging?”
- “What is the dosing schedule for my condition?”
If you share your country and the exact wording on your prescription (or what your doctor prescribed), I can help you translate that into what to ask for at the pharmacy.
