Does ivermectin have polysorbate 80?

Does ivermectin contain polysorbate 80?

Polysorbate 80 is an excipient used in some drug products as a solubilizer/emulsifier. Whether ivermectin contains it depends on the specific formulation (brand and dosage form) because ingredient lists can differ between tablets, oral solutions, and injectable products.

Which ivermectin products are most likely to include polysorbate 80?

• Oral tablets: often use different excipients (commonly fillers/binders) rather than polysorbate 80, but this is still formulation-specific.
  
• Oral solutions/suspensions: more likely to include solubilizers such as polysorbates, depending on the manufacturer.
  
• Injectables: more likely than tablets to include solubilizers/emulsifiers, including polysorbate 80.
  
  

What to check if you need a definitive answer

The only reliable way to confirm is to look up the full prescribing information or package insert for the exact product you have (including strength and dosage form). Ingredient lists (Inactive ingredients) are where polysorbate 80 is explicitly named.

If you tell me your exact product, I can verify it

If you share:
- the country/brand name,
- the dosage form (tablet, oral solution, injection), and
- the strength (e.g., 3 mg, 6 mg, etc.),
I can help pinpoint whether that specific ivermectin product lists polysorbate 80 in its inactive ingredients.
