Stromectol (ivermectin) is Not approved by the FDA for treating scabies or head lice. While some studies suggest potential efficacy, the dosage and treatment protocols are not standardized, and results are inconsistent. Always consult a healthcare professional before using Stromectol for these conditions.
Off-Label Use and Important Considerations
If a doctor considers Stromectol for scabies or lice, they will determine the appropriate dosage based on the patient’s weight and specific circumstances. This is strictly Off-label use and should only be undertaken under the direct supervision of a medical professional who can carefully weigh the potential benefits against the risks. They will also monitor for potential side effects, which can include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and dizziness. Treatment for scabies and lice usually involves additional measures beyond medication, such as topical treatments or meticulous hygiene practices to eliminate the infestation. Self-treating with Stromectol for these conditions is strongly discouraged.
