Ivermectin for humans is an antiparasitic drug that is permitted for use in people. River blindness, strongyloidiasis, and scabies are just a few of the human parasite illnesses that it has proven to be effective in treating. Ivermectin, a powerful avermectin derivative, targets parasites by interfering with their neurological systems, causing paralysis and eventual removal from the body. While its effectiveness and safety in treating parasitic diseases are widely known, the COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to it as well, with some arguing that it might be used to treat the virus. Medical professionals and health authorities continue to do research on and discuss its usage in the treatment of COVID-19.
