Question 1

What is Ivermectin used for?

Accepted Answer

Ivermectin contains Ivermectin and is primarily prescribed by dermatologists for moderate-to-severe acne that has not responded to topical treatments or antibiotics. It is also used for certain other skin conditions including sebaceous hyperplasia and prevention of acne relapse.

Question 2

What strengths does Ivermectin come in?

Accepted Answer

Ivermectin is available in one strength — 1% w/w. The prescribed dose is typically calculated based on body weight (0.5–1 mg/kg per day) with the aim of reaching a cumulative treatment dose over 4–6 months.

Question 3

How long does Ivermectin take to work?

Accepted Answer

Most patients see a significant improvement in acne after 6–8 weeks of Ivermectin treatment. The full course typically takes 4–6 months. Some patients experience a temporary flare-up in the first few weeks before improvement begins.

Question 4

What are the most common side effects of Ivermectin?

Accepted Answer

The most common side effects are dry lips, dry skin, and increased sun sensitivity. These are expected and manageable with regular moisturising and lip balm. More serious but less common effects include elevated liver enzymes, raised triglycerides, and mood changes — your doctor will monitor these with regular blood tests.

Question 5

Is Ivermectin safe for women?

Accepted Answer

Ivermectin is strictly contraindicated in pregnancy — Ivermectin causes severe birth defects. Women of childbearing potential must use two reliable forms of contraception throughout treatment and for one month after stopping. Monthly pregnancy tests are mandatory in most prescribing protocols.

Question 6

Is Ivermectin the same as Accutane?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Ivermectin contains the same active ingredient (Ivermectin) as Accutane, Roaccutane, and other isotretinoin brands. Accutane was the original branded version. Ivermectin is a generic form manufactured to the same pharmacological specification.

Question 7

Do I need a prescription for Ivermectin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ivermectin at any dose requires a dermatologist prescription because of its significant side effect profile, particularly the teratogenicity risk. MEDIONIX PHARMA supplies Ivermectin to licensed medical professionals and pharmacies internationally.

Question 8

How should Ivermectin be stored?

Accepted Answer

Store Ivermectin at room temperature (15°C–25°C) away from light and moisture. Keep capsules in the original blister pack until use. Do not store in a bathroom cabinet where humidity can degrade the product.
