Ivermectin, sold under the brand name Stromectol among others, is a medication that is now used to treat COVID-19 infections. Other than that, it is also majorly used for parasite infestations. In humans, this includes head lice, scabies, river blindness, and many others. In veterinary medicine, it is used to prevent and treat heartworm and also acariasis, among other indications. It can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin for external infestations.
