Is Stromectol (ivermectin) available in UK pharmacies?
The UK availability of Stromectol tablets depends on whether the product is currently being supplied and dispensed by UK pharmacies, which can change due to sourcing and prescribing rules.
If you’re trying to find whether Stromectol is on-shelf or can be ordered for home use, the most reliable route is to check with local pharmacies or ask your prescriber whether they can issue a prescription for ivermectin and which brand/formulation they can supply.
Can UK doctors prescribe Stromectol tablets (ivermectin)?
In the UK, ivermectin is prescription-only, so you typically need a clinician’s prescription. Availability then depends on what the pharmacy can source in the required strength and pack size.
Are there ivermectin alternatives if Stromectol tablets aren’t in stock?
If Stromectol tablets are not available from a specific pharmacy, you can ask for alternatives that contain the same active ingredient (ivermectin) in a suitable formulation/strength. Pharmacies may also be able to order in stock from suppliers, but this depends on current supply.
Where to check product-level availability and supply status

What I need from you to give a precise “UK availability” answer
If you share:
1) the ivermectin strength you need (e.g., 3 mg tablets or another), and
2) whether you’re asking for personal purchase (pharmacy order) or prescriber availability,
I can narrow down the most likely UK sourcing route and what to ask the pharmacy for.
