SmartAnswer by DigiNepal SI

Common side effects: In comparative trials, patients treated with ivermectin experienced more abdominal distention and chest discomfort than patients treated with albendazole. However, ivermectin was better tolerated than thiabendazole in comparative studies involving 37 patients treated with thiabendazole. Pregnancy (label summary): Teratogenicity was characterized in the three species tested by cleft palate; clubbed forepaws were additionally observed in rabbits. Therefore, ivermectin does not appear to be selectively fetotoxic to the developing fetus. Breastfeeding (label summary): Nursing Mothers Ivermectin is excreted in human milk in low concentrations. Treatment of mothers who intend to breast-feed should only be undertaken when the risk of delayed treatment to the mother outweighs the possible risk to the newborn. General information only, not medical advice and not a prescription. No doses are given. Always consult a doctor or pharmacist before starting, stopping or changing any medicine, especially in pregnancy, breastfeeding, children, older age or with other medicines. generated by SI from cited sources · general information, not a diagnosis · consult a health professional
