Scabies Symptoms & Treatments
Treatment #2: Ivermectin
In a scabies infestation, Ivermectin is a medication that can be taken orally. Usually, only a single dose is required. It can be prescribed together with a topical medication (medication that is applied on the skin) and is the best choice for individuals with crusted scabies.
It is not recommended for children that are under six years old. While topical Ivermectin has been proven to be useful and effective for scabies in adults, it has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States.
