Ivermectin generic?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Ivermectin

Yes. Ivermectin is available as a generic medication.

- Oral ivermectin: Generic versions of the oral tablet are widely available in many countries (in the U.S. and elsewhere). The original brand was Stromectol; generics are manufactured by multiple companies and usually come in common strengths like 3 mg or 6 mg.
- Topical ivermectin: There are topical forms (e.g., for rosacea or head lice) that may be available as generics in some markets, though brand-name products (like Soolantra for rosacea or Sklice for lice) also exist.

If you’d like, tell me your country and whether you need oral tablets or a topical form, and I can summarize the current generic options and typical price range in your area. Quick safety note: use human-approved ivermectin products only (not animal formulations) and only as prescribed. It’s not approved for treating COVID-19 in most places.
