Ivermectin, like many medications, can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Common side effects of Iverheal 6mg are generally mild and temporary but should be monitored closely. Some of the most frequently reported side effects include dizziness, headache, muscle aches, and nausea. These symptoms may occur shortly after taking the medication and typically resolve on their own.
Gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, or loss of appetite may also occur, but these are generally mild and temporary. Skin rashes or itching may happen, particularly when Ivermectin is used to treat conditions like scabies, where skin irritation is already present.
In some cases, individuals taking Ivermectin for parasitic infections may experience reactions related to the death of the parasites, known as the Mazzotti reaction. This can result in fever, swelling, and rash, particularly when treating infections like onchocerciasis (river blindness).
Severe side effects are rare but can include vision changes, extreme fatigue, or severe allergic reactions, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the face, lips, or throat. If any of these severe reactions occur, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
