1. What is Ivermectina Difa and what is it used for
Ivermectina Difa contains the active ingredient ivermectin. This is a type of medicine that is
used for infections caused by certain parasites.
It is used to treat:
- an infection in the intestine called intestinal strongyloidiasis (anguillulosis). It is caused by a type of roundworm called “Strongyloides stercoralis”.
- a blood infection called microfilaremia caused by “lymphatic filariasis”. It is caused by an immature worm called “Wuchereria bancrofti”. Ivermectina Difa does not act against adult worms but only against immature worms.
- skin mites (scabies). This happens when tiny mites burrow under the skin. It can cause severe itching. Ivermectina Difa should only be taken when the doctor is certain or suspects that you have scabies.
Ivermectina Difa does not prevent any of these infections.It does not act against adult worms .
Ivermectina Difa should only be taken when the doctor has confirmed or believes that there is
a parasitic infection.
2. What you need to know before taking Ivermectina Difa
Do not take Ivermectina Difa:
- if you are allergic to ivermectin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6); the signs of an allergic reaction to a medicine can include skin rash, difficulty breathing or fever.
- If you have ever developed a severe skin rash or peeling of the skin, rash with blisters and/or ulcers in the mouth after taking ivermectin.
In general, if unusual symptoms occur suddenly after taking any
medicine, such as skin rashes, hives or fever, you can assume you are allergic to that
medicine.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Ivermectina Difa.
Serious skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, have been reported in association with treatment with ivermectin. Stop using ivermectin and
consult a doctor immediately if you notice any of the symptoms related to these serious skin reactions
described in section 4.
In particular, talk to your doctor:
- if you have a weakened immune system (immune disorder)
- if you live or have lived in parts of Africa where there are cases of human parasitic infestation with the filarial worm Loa loaalso called the eye worm
- if you currently live or have lived in parts of Africa.
The combined use of diethylcarbamazine citrate (DEC) to treat a co-infection with
Onchocerca volvulusmay lead to a risk of adverse effects that are sometimes potentially serious.
If you fall into any of these categories (or if you are not sure), talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking
Ivermectina Difa.
Ivermectina Difa is not indicated for preventing tropical parasite infestations. It is not effective against
adult parasitic worms and can only be used on the advice of a doctor when the parasitic infestation
is certain or strongly suspected.
