Does ivermectin contain chrysanthemum?

Does ivermectin contain chrysanthemum (as an ingredient)?

Ivermectin is a medicine made from the avermectin class of compounds. It does not contain “chrysanthemum” as an ingredient in the way that some products may contain extracts derived from chrysanthemum (for example, certain insecticide ingredients).

Could ivermectin products be mixed up with chrysanthemum-derived ingredients?

Sometimes ivermectin is confused with products that contain pyrethrins or pyrethroids, which are commonly associated with chrysanthemum sources. Those are different chemicals used for pest control, not the ivermectin medicine itself.

If you’re asking because of a specific label, it can help to check the exact product’s “active ingredient” and “inactive ingredients” sections on the package insert or bottle.

What should I look for on the label?

Check whether the product lists an ingredient such as:
- “ivermectin” (active ingredient), and
- any “chrysanthemum,” “pyrethrum,” “pyrethrin,” or “pyrethroid” terms (these would indicate chrysanthemum-related components, but they would not be part of ivermectin itself).

If you share the product name (brand and formulation, or a photo/text of the ingredient panel), I can help you interpret it.
