📋Overview
Ivermectin is a medication primarily known for its use in treating infections caused by certain parasites. It is commonly associated with conditions such as river blindness (onchocerciasis) and strongyloidiasis, as well as other parasitic diseases affecting the skin and intestines. Ivermectin works by interfering with the nervous system of parasites, leading to their elimination from the body. It has also been studied for various other uses, but its main role remains in the management of parasitic infections.
