Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Ivermectin 1 mg/ml Oral Suspension (Vet) is a compounded formulation designed to effectively treat a variety of parasitic conditions in animals. These conditions include mange, lice, scabies, ear mites, and heartworm. As an antiparasitic medication, Ivermectin works by paralyzing and killing the parasites responsible for these conditions, thereby alleviating the symptoms and preventing further infestation.

The treatment regimen for these conditions varies. For mange, a single dose of Ivermectin is typically sufficient. However, for lice, scabies, and ear mites, multiple doses may be required to completely eradicate the parasites. In the case of heartworm, Ivermectin is used in conjunction with other medications to kill the adult worms and prevent further infection.

It is crucial to note that Ivermectin should not be used in pregnant or lactating animals due to potential risks. As with any medication, it is important to use Ivermectin under the guidance of a veterinary professional to ensure the safety and health of your pet.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Ivermectin 1 mg/ml Oral Suspension (Vet) is a compounded formulation designed for oral administration in animals. This medication is primarily used to treat a wide range of parasitic infections, including but not limited to mange, lice, scabies, ear mites, and heartworm.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
