The toxic effects of ivermectin when used inappropriately, including hospitalization and death.
Published human data document a consistent pattern of toxic effects when ivermectin is used at high oral doses or misused (including veterinary formulations), dominated by central‑nervous‑system depre...
The clinical literature and poison‑center reporting show a consistent pattern: veterinary ivermectin exposures more often involve large, untested doses and formulations (pastes, solutions) that produc...
Reports from poison centers and clinical series show two distinct clinical pictures: acute neurotoxicity after ingestion of veterinary ivermectin products taken in large doses or over short periods, v...
High or “off‑label” ivermectin dosing raises two linked safety questions: are higher exposures intrinsically toxic, and do specific contexts (co‑infections, genetics, formulations, drug interactions) ...
Yes—there are identifiable patient and situational risk factors that raise the likelihood of ivermectin toxicity (pharmacologic overdose or CNS/organ toxicity) beyond an immediate allergic reaction; p...
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) repeatedly warned that ivermectin is not authorized or approved to prevent or treat COVID‑19 in humans and alerted the public that people taking veterinary ...
Published case series and poison‑center reviews show a clear pattern: toxicity linked to veterinary ivermectin is driven by higher ingested doses and unusual routes/formulations and presents with more...
Ivermectin overdose commonly produces gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), dizziness and other central nervous system effects (drowsiness, headache, tremor), and in more severe case...
Animal formulations of ivermectin have been repeatedly linked to gastrointestinal symptoms, rapid-onset neurotoxicity (including confusion, loss of coordination, seizures, coma) and at least one repor...
