Yes, ivermectin Iverheal 6mg is sometimes used to treat itching, particularly when caused by parasitic infections such as scabies and lice. It works by targeting the nervous system of parasites, killing them and reducing symptoms, including severe itching. Ivermectin is available in both oral and topical forms, with oral ivermectin commonly prescribed for widespread or resistant scabies infestations, while topical formulations (such as creams or lotions) are applied directly to the affected skin.
Itching from scabies is caused by mites burrowing into the skin, triggering an immune response. After taking ivermectin, the mites begin to die, but itching may persist for several weeks as the body clears out the dead mites and their waste. To manage persistent itching, antihistamines, corticosteroid creams, or moisturizing lotions may be recommended.
