Secure PaymentWhat is Ivermectin 15 mg?
Ivermectin 15 mg is an oral antiparasitic medicine used to treat a range of infections caused by parasites, including scabies and filariasis. The 15 mg tablet strength is suited to adult dosing, providing an effective and straightforward treatment path for patients diagnosed with these conditions. At 24 Hour Meds, we supply Ivermectin 15 mg manufactured to strict pharmaceutical quality standards, ensuring every tablet meets the safety and efficacy requirements expected by Australian patients and healthcare professionals.
How does Ivermectin 15 mg work?
Ivermectin targets the nervous system of parasites by binding to specific chloride ion channels in their nerve and muscle cells. This causes paralysis and eventual death of the organism, effectively clearing the parasitic infection from the body over time. While it does not directly destroy adult worms in all cases, it significantly reduces the parasite load by suppressing larval release, allowing the immune system to manage and resolve the remaining infection.
Ivermectin 15 mg uses
Ivermectin 15 mg is indicated for the treatment of the following conditions:
- Scabies — a contagious skin condition caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, resulting in intense itching and rash
- Filariasis — a parasitic disease caused by filarial worms transmitted through mosquito bites, leading to lymphatic damage and swelling
- Other parasitic infections — including onchocerciasis and strongyloidiasis, under the direction of a qualified healthcare provider
Dosage & how to take
The standard adult dose of Ivermectin is 0.2 mg per kilogram of body weight, which typically corresponds to one or two 15 mg tablets depending on individual weight. Your doctor will determine the correct dosage and whether repeat doses are required, particularly for filariasis treatment. Take the tablet orally with water on an empty stomach, ideally around one hour before eating, and swallow it whole without crushing or chewing.

Seek medical attention promptly if you experience breathing difficulties, significant facial or throat swelling, vision changes, or seizures, as these may indicate a serious reaction requiring immediate care.
