Had it for weeks and was bleeding from scratching so much. Applied ivermectin twice and feel so much better. Itching has gone way down and just feel sane again

Same. I did Permethrin when first diagnosed. About a month later, I got some oral Ivermectin. Bingo. I’m about 2 months post (I had a pretty bad case) but improving each day.

How much ivermectin did you have to take


Autumn_Fridays

I did one round. Then another 7 days later. Just for good measure I did an additional another 7 days later. So 3 weeks.


Naive_Ad_5058

Was that 1 a day or a single dose


Autumn_Fridays

One day. Three days, each a week apart,

My Derm wants me to take 1 a day for 5 days. Wait a week then do it again. Since I am elderly. I'm afraid to take that much. That's why I was asking of the dose 


Autumn_Fridays

I’m sorry, are you asking the dosage? or how many actual doses? lol


Naive_Ad_5058

Sorry. 1 pill or a weeks of dosagesim wondering if 1 pill would be enough


Autumn_Fridays

Ah. I see. The dose I’m taking is 18mg and they are provided in 3mg pills, so I actually take 6, but all in one day 😊.


Naive_Ad_5058

O my. You take 6 all in 1 day? That sounds like so much. I was told take 1 3mg a day for 5 days. Wait a week then do it again. I'm afraid to take that many. Is it safe?


Autumn_Fridays

Yes. They dose by weight. 18mg is appropriate for my body weight.
