Stromectol (ivermectin) treatment for onchocerciasis and strongyloidiasis requires precise dosing based on body weight. Always follow your doctor’s instructions.
Onchocerciasis:
- The recommended single dose for adults is 150 mcg/kg of body weight. This dose is typically given as a single oral administration. Repeat treatments may be necessary depending on the severity of the infection and your doctor’s assessment.
Strongyloidiasis:
- For adults, a standard dose is 200 mcg/kg of body weight administered orally. This is usually a single dose, but your doctor may prescribe a second dose after a few weeks. This depends on the infection’s response to treatment. Follow-up stool examinations are common to check the effectiveness of treatment.
Important Note: Stromectol dosage should always be determined by a healthcare professional. Self-medicating can be dangerous. Never take more or less than prescribed. Report any side effects to your doctor immediately.
