Is ivermectin hard on the kidneys?

[joseph josephrock]

Ivermectin Iverheal 6mg is an antiparasitic drug commonly used to treat infections such as river blindness, strongyloidiasis, and scabies. It is primarily metabolized in the liver and excreted through feces, with only a small percentage eliminated via the kidneys. Because of this, ivermectin does not typically pose a significant risk to kidney function in healthy individuals.

For most people, ivermectin is not considered nephrotoxic (harmful to the kidneys). However, in individuals with pre-existing kidney disease, poor clearance of metabolites may lead to increased drug accumulation, potentially causing side effects such as dizziness, confusion, or neurotoxicity.
