A member asked:

How long after taking stromectol (ivermectin) am i contagious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Re examination need: If the treatment was for strongyloidosis, stool examination is needed to document clearance of the infection. If it was used for onchocerciasis, it does not usually kill the adult parasites and therefore retreatment will be usually required.
