Generic ivermectin?

Yes. Ivermectin is available as generic medication in many parts of the world. The generic versions contain the same active ingredient (ivermectin) as the brand-name product (Stromectol) and are typically cheaper.

Quick notes:
- Common human forms: oral tablets (often 3 mg each) and sometimes oral suspensions; there are also topical ivermectin products (e.g., 1% cream/ointment for certain skin conditions) that may have generic versions in some markets.
- In the US, ivermectin for humans is prescription-only; many countries also require a prescription, though some places may have different rules.
- Typical dosing (depends on infection):
- Strongyloidiasis or intestinal helminths: usually 150–200 mcg/kg as a single dose, may be repeated after 1–2 weeks depending on infection.
- Scabies: commonly 200 mcg/kg as a dose, with a repeat dose after 1–2 weeks in some cases.
- Onchocerciasis: 150–200 mcg/kg once annually or as advised by local guidelines.
- Safety and who should not use it:
- Not recommended for pregnancy unless clearly needed and no safer alternatives are available (benefit/risk must be considered).
- Not typically tested in children under about 15 kg (weight-based dosing applies).
- Avoid using veterinary ivermectin products in humans; those products have different concentrations and carriers.
- If you’d like, tell me your country or region and what infection you’re treating (if any). I can help identify typical generic options available there and give price/range guidance. I can also help with general dosing guidance, but you should follow your clinician’s instructions.
