Stromectol is oral medication prescribed for use against parasitic roundworm infection. Stromectol acts by immobilizing and killing vulnerable parasite. It is especially very useful for users with low internal resistance to severe and in some cases fatal infections caused by roundworm infections.
Stromectol is also known as Ivermectin.
Ivermectin is a semisynthetic, anthelmintic agent that is effective against Strongyloidiasis of intestine and Onchocerciasis. Nondisseminated Strongyloidiasis is caused by nematode parasite Strongyloides stercoralis whereas nematode parasite Onchocerca volvulus causes Onchocerciasis.

Stromectol Usage
Stromectol is prescribed as medication against parasitic roundworm infection. It could also have other uses like scabies and lice treatment as per Physician discretion.
Generally Stromectol is taken with a glass of water on empty stomach an hour before having food. Normally one dose is of 200-mcg ivermectin/kg body weight for Strongyloidiasis treatment and for treating Onchocerciasis, Physicians may prescribe 150-mcg ivermectin/kg of body weight. Actual dosage should be determined in Physician consultation.
Stromectol generally requires a follow up user assessment to check if the infection has been completely cured. There is a possibility of restarting use of Stromectol so that the infection is completely eradicated from the patient.

Patients having parasitic infections like loiasis apart from nematode parasites, Strongyloides stercoralis and Onchocerca volvulus are generally not prescribed for Stromectol. African trypanosomiasis and similar parasites are found in West and Central Africa. The presence of these parasites has very severe (even fatal) side effects with Ivermectin. A thorough body checkup should be carried out to detect the presence of these parasites.
Drugs could limit overall reaction time and affect decision-making ability. Tasks requiring complex decision-making or very alert reactions should be avoided.
If used for the treatment of strongyloidiasis, stool infection should be carried out regularly to check the effect of the treatment. Users should not miss any physician or lab appointments. When Ivermectin is used for treating onchocerciasis, users may need retreatment as adult Onchocerca parasites can survive Stromectol.
Nursing mothers and pregnant users should use Stromectol under strict Physician supervision. Children should use Stromectol only after Physician use.
