Näidustused:

Ivermectin is indicated for the treatment of the following infections: Ivermectin is indicated for the treatment of intestinal (i.e., nondisseminated) strongyloidiasis due to the nematode parasite Strongyloides stercoralis . This indication is based on clinical studies of both comparative and open-label designs, in which 64-100% of infected patients were cured following a single 200-mcg/kg dose of ivermectin (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies ). Ivermectin is indicated for the treatment of onchocerciasis due to the nematode parasite Onchocerca volvulus . This indication is based on randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and comparative studies conducted in 1427 patients in onchocerciasis-endemic areas of West Africa. The comparative studies used diethylcarbamazine citrate (DEC-C). NOTE: Ivermectin has no activity against adult Onchocerca volvulus parasites. The adult parasites reside in subcutaneous nodules which are infrequently palpable. Surgical excision of these nodules (nodulectomy) may

DESCRIPTION
Ivermectin is a semisynthetic, anthelmintic agent for oral
administration. Ivermectin is
derived from the avermectins, a class of highly active broad-spectrum,
anti-parasitic
agents isolated from the fermentation products of _Streptomyces
avermitilis_. Ivermectin
is a mixture containing at least 90%
5-_O_-demethyl-22,23-dihydroavermectin A
and less
than 10% 5-_O-_demethyl-25-de(1-methylpropyl)-22,23-dihydro-25-(1-
methylethyl)avermectin A
, generally referred to as 22,23-dihydroavermectin B
and
B
, or H B
and H B
, respectively. The respective empirical formulas are C
H
O
and C
H
O
, with molecular weights of 875.10 and 861.07, respectively. The
structural formulas are:
Ivermectin is a white to yellowish-white, nonhygroscopic, crystalline
powder with a
melting point of about 155°C. It is insoluble in water but is freely
soluble in methanol and
soluble in 95% ethanol.
Ivermectin tablets are available as 3-mg tablets containing the
following inactive
ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium,
magnesium stearate,
microcrystalline cellulose, and pregelatinized starch.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
_PHARMACOKINETICS_
Following oral administration of ivermectin, plasma concentrations are
approximately
proportional to the dose. In two studies, after single 12-mg doses of
ivermectin in
fasting healthy volunteers (representing a mean dose of 165 mcg/kg),
the mean peak
plasma concentrations of the major component (H B
) were 46.6 (±21.9) (range: 16.4
to 101.1) and 30.6 (±15.6) (range: 13.9 to 68.4) ng/mL, respectively,
at approximately 4
hours after dosing. Ivermectin is metabolized in the liver, and
ivermectin and/or its
metabolites are excreted almost exclusively in the feces over an
estimated 12 days, with
less than 1% of the administered dose excreted in the urine. The
plasma half-life of
ivermectin in man is approximately 18 hours following oral
administration.
