Ivermectin is a prescription antiparasitic medication used to treat infections caused by certain parasitic worms and external parasites. It is commonly prescribed for strongyloidiasis (threadworm), onchocerciasis (river blindness), and may also be used to treat parasitic skin conditions such as scabies or lice when appropriate. Ivermectin works by paralyzing and killing parasites, helping the body clear the infection.
