What Ivermectin is used for

Ivermectin is the shared ingredient in both listed products, although their listed conditions differ. Stromectol tablets are listed for Strongyloidiasis and Onchocerciasis. Intestinal strongyloidiasis concerns infection with the nematode Strongyloides stercoralis, while Soolantra tube products are listed for rosacea.
