    Ivermectin is administered in specific dosages tailored to the type of parasitic infection being treated. For conditions such as onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis, the recommended dosage is typically 150 to 200 micrograms per kilogram (µg/kg) of body weight, taken as a single oral dose. For example, a patient weighing 70 kg would receive approximately 10 to 14 mg of Ivermectin . In the case of strongyloidiasis, the dosage is generally 200 µg/kg, also administered as a single dose. For scabies, a single dose of 200 µg/kg is recommended, with a possible repeat dose after 7 to 14 days for optimal efficacy, especially in immunocompromised patients.

    The administration of Ivermectin should ideally occur on an empty stomach with water to enhance absorption.
