Understanding the Medications

IVERMECTIN

Overview

Ivermectin is an FDA-approved medication for certain parasitic infections in humans. It has been in clinical use for decades and is generally well tolerated when prescribed appropriately.

FDA-Approved Uses

  • Treatment of specific parasitic infections in humans (e.g., strongyloidiasis, onchocerciasis).

Off-Label Uses

Healthcare providers may sometimes prescribe ivermectin for conditions outside of its FDA-approved indications. Reported off-label uses have included:

  • COVID-19 related illness
  • Lyme disease
  • Other investigational cellular effects
⚠️ The FDA has not approved ivermectin for COVID-19 or Lyme disease. Clinical studies are ongoing, and safety/efficacy for these uses have not been established.

How It Works

Ivermectin binds to and inhibits certain cellular channels in parasites, leading to paralysis and death of the organism. Laboratory studies also suggest it may influence cellular processes such as proliferation and angiogenesis, but the clinical significance of these findings in humans remains under investigation.

Possible Side Effects

  • Abnormal liver function tests
  • Visual disturbances
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea

This is not a complete list. Talk with your pharmacist or healthcare provider for a full discussion of potential side effects and risks.

Dosage

  • Typical FDA-approved doses range around 0.15–0.2 mg/kg as a single dose, sometimes repeated depending on indication.
  • Higher or alternative dosing regimens may be studied in off-label contexts.
⚠️ Do not self-dose. Use ivermectin only under the guidance of a licensed healthcare provider.

MEBENDAZOLE

Overview

Mebendazole is an FDA-approved medication primarily used to treat intestinal worm infections in humans. It has been widely prescribed for decades as an effective and generally well-tolerated anthelmintic.

FDA-Approved Uses

Mebendazole is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of gastrointestinal worm infections, including:

  • Pinworm
  • Whipworm
  • Hookworm
  • Roundworm

Off-Label and Investigational Uses

Researchers have studied mebendazole for potential use in other conditions, including:

  • Certain cancers (e.g., colon cancer, glioblastoma)
  • Anti-inflammatory activity in laboratory models
⚠️ These uses are not FDA-approved. Clinical research is ongoing, and safety/efficacy for cancer or inflammatory conditions has not been established. Patients should not use mebendazole for these purposes outside of a clinical trial or without the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider.

How It Works

  • For parasites: Mebendazole blocks the parasite’s ability to absorb glucose, depleting energy stores and leading to death of the worm.
  • Investigational findings: Laboratory studies suggest possible anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory properties, but these effects have not been confirmed as effective treatments in humans.

Possible Side Effects

Reported side effects may include:

  • Abdominal pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea

This is not a complete list. Ask your pharmacist or healthcare provider for full prescribing information and a detailed discussion of risks.

Dosage

  • Typical FDA-approved dosing varies depending on the type of worm infection.
  • Treatment is usually short-course (often 1–3 days), but the exact regimen must be determined by a healthcare professional.
⚠️ Do not self-dose. Use only under the guidance of a licensed prescriber.

FENBENDAZOLE

⚠️ Not FDA-approved for human use.

Overview

Fenbendazole is an antiparasitic medication that is FDA-approved for use in animals. It is commonly prescribed by veterinarians to treat intestinal parasite infections in livestock and companion animals.

FDA-Approved Uses

  • Treatment and control of certain intestinal parasites in animals (e.g., roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, some tapeworms).
  • Not FDA-approved for human use.

Off-Label and Investigational Uses

  • Fenbendazole has been studied in laboratory and early research settings for potential anticancer effects.
  • Some reports and preclinical studies suggest it may influence tumor growth or cancer metabolism.
⚠️ These uses are investigational only. Fenbendazole has not been approved for treating cancer or any other condition in humans. Safety and efficacy in people have not been established. It should not be used by humans outside of clinical research or a healthcare provider’s supervision.

How It Works

  • In animals: Fenbendazole disrupts energy metabolism in parasites by inhibiting glucose uptake, leading to energy depletion and death of the parasite.
  • Investigational findings: Laboratory data suggest possible anti-tumor properties, but these effects remain unproven in human medicine.

Possible Side Effects in Animals

Reported side effects are generally mild and may include:

  • Gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea)
  • Loss of appetite

⚠️ Human safety profile is not established.
