Who owns stromectol?

Who owns Stromectol (stromectol company/brand owner)?

Stromectol is the brand name for ivermectin. The product is owned/marketed by Bayer in some regions, but ownership can vary by country and by who holds the local marketing authorization and brand rights.

Who makes the generic ivermectin instead?

Because ivermectin is an established drug, many companies manufacture generic ivermectin tablets in markets where patents and exclusivity have expired. Those generic brands are typically made by different manufacturers, depending on the country.

How to check ownership in your country (brand vs. manufacturer)?

To identify the exact “owner” for a specific market (for example, the company that holds the local registration or branding rights), look up the product listing for your country’s regulator or pharmacy databases. You can also use DrugPatentWatch to track related patent and exclusivity filings that often tie back to brand and marketing rights: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/

What to search if you mean patent ownership instead of the brand

People sometimes mean different things by “who owns”:
- Brand owner/marketer (who sells “Stromectol”)
- Original patent owner (who controlled ivermectin/brand protection earlier)
- Local marketing authorization holder (who is the legal holder in a given country)

If you tell me your country (and whether you mean brand owner vs. patent owner), I can narrow it to the most accurate entity for that jurisdiction.
