Weight-band pairing chart. Human-labeled 3 mg tablets only. Not a veterinary desk.
Stromectol labeling for intestinal strongyloidiasis is a single oral dose near 200 mcg/kg on an empty stomach with water. The weight table runs 15-24 kg as one 3 mg tablet up through 66-79 kg as five tablets, then 200 mcg/kg above 80 kg. Onchocerciasis uses about 150 mcg/kg. Those are different bands.
Food increases ivermectin exposure. Taking the 3 mg tablets with a Reykjavik breakfast is not a harmless comfort trick. The empty-stomach rule is the pair with breakfast, not with another drug.
Generic 3 mg x 10 lists $36.45 / $23.76 on GoodRx. Stromectol brand has no separate cash row this desk will print. Caelum does not dispense.

3 mg x 10 (generic)
Not a veterinary pour-on fill
Generic ivermectin 3 mg, ten tablets, the Caelum weight-band orbit, 21 August 2026. GoodRx lists 3 mg x 10 at $36.45 / $23.76. Stromectol brand has no separate cash row this desk will print. Oncho and strongyloides counts differ. Caelum does not dispense.
Why breakfast is a pharmacokinetic pair and not a kindness
Food increases ivermectin bioavailability. The empty-stomach-with-water rule is the pair with breakfast, not with warfarin.
A fatty Reykjavik breakfast plus five 3 mg tablets is a different exposure than the labeled empty-stomach map. Do not invent that experiment because nausea felt likely.
If nausea is the issue, call. Do not switch to veterinary paste because the tube 'came with directions.'
Alcohol is not a Flagyl-style ban. It also does not cancel empty-stomach timing. Do not test both in one morning.
Write the hour you swallowed and the hour you last ate. Locums inherit clocks, not adjectives.
Human 3 mg tablets are not a pasture product
Paste and pour-on ivermectin for livestock are different concentrations and excipients. They are not a Stromectol substitute. Neurotoxicity stories from those products are why this desk repeats the sentence.
COVID-era leftover hoarding is not an indication. Labeled uses remain strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis on the US tablet PI. Other uses need a clinician and a protocol.
Mazzotti-type inflammatory reactions after oncho treatment are organism stories, not leftover-tablet stories. Specialist follow-up owns them.
Why invertebrates feel it and most human synapses do not
Ivermectin opens glutamate-gated chloride channels in invertebrate nerve and muscle. That is the kill. Human GABA synapses are not the primary target at labeled 200 mcg/kg bands - until overdose or blood-brain-barrier failure collides.
Dizziness, itch, and GI upset are the common day-of complaints. Confusion, ataxia, or seizure is urgent, not a 'finish the leftover 3 mg' plan.
Household contacts for scabies still need a clinician map. Sharing five tablets from a 66-79 kg count with a 20 kg child is how math fails.
Rare warfarin INR and the bottles that are not pairs
Post-marketing INR rises with warfarin are rare and still a clinic call when a 200 mcg/kg count starts.
Do not cut warfarin at home. Do not skip the 3 mg tablets to 'protect' INR without that call.
Azithromycin 500 and Flagyl 250 have louder pair lists. Do not assume ivermectin is silent because those pages were scarier.
No invented Stromectol brand dollar. Generic 3 mg x 10 is $36.45 / $23.76. Brand literacy only.
Veterinary pour-on in a barn is a different concentration. Neurotoxicity stories from those products are why this sentence repeats.
What the travel clinic writes beside the kilogram row
Indication first: 200 mcg/kg strongyloides versus 150 mcg/kg oncho. Mixing those bands is how five tablets become the wrong count.
Kilograms today, not last year's travel weight. The 66-79 kg row is five 3 mg tablets. Crossing 80 kg moves to calculated 200 mcg/kg.
Empty stomach with water. Food raises exposure. A pastry clock is a call, not an automatic second five-count.
Warfarin, if present, is a rare INR call. Do not cut warfarin at home.
Loa loa risk after Central Africa is specialist territory. A leftover bottle is not that map.
Veterinary paste is a different object. Neurotoxicity stories will not retire from this page.
Scabies repeats are another clock. Rosacea cream is another product. Do not eat cream.
No Stromectol brand dollar. Generic 3 mg x 10 is the printed cash. Write kilograms on the bag.
Breakfast raises exposure; warfarin is a rare INR call
The empty-stomach instruction is pharmacokinetic, not ritual. A fatty meal can push levels up. That matters more when someone is already stacking P-glycoprotein or CYP3A chatter from other drugs, even if ivermectin is not a celebrity interactor.
Post-marketing reports of increased INR with warfarin are rare. Rare is not never. Tell the anticoagulation desk if a 200 mcg/kg count starts beside warfarin. Do not invent a home warfarin cut.
MDR1 / P-gp loss-of-function stories and Loa loa high-microfilaria risk belong to specialist maps. This orbit will not turn a travel forum into encephalopathy counseling.
| Pair or rule | Action |
|---|---|
| Food | Empty stomach with water - food raises exposure |
| Warfarin | Rare INR rise - call the clinic if both start |
| Oncho 150 mcg/kg vs strongyloides 200 mcg/kg | Different tablet counts |
| Veterinary pour-on | Not this 3 mg tablet |
Peer-pass lines for the kilogram row
Name 200 mcg/kg strongyloides versus 150 mcg/kg oncho before you count 3 mg tablets. Mixing bands wrecks the row.
Empty stomach with water. Food raises exposure. Do not redose a second five-count in a jetway.
A 22 kg child is not two leftovers from a 72 kg five-tablet count. Veterinary paste is a different object.
Rare warfarin INR still gets a clinic call. Loa loa-possible leftover swallows are specialist territory.
No Stromectol brand dollar. Generic 3 mg x 10 is the printed cash. Write kilograms on the bag.
Household scabies clocks are not a 200 mcg/kg souvenir
Scabies repeats, when used, are a different clock from a single strongyloides dose. The scabies orbit trace owns that calendar.
Sharing five tablets from a 72 kg count with a 22 kg child is how math fails. The 15-24 kg row is one 3 mg tablet on the strongyloides table - and only if a clinician wrote it.
Bedding and contacts still matter. Tablets do not replace laundry.
Rosacea cream and lice lotion are other ivermectin products. They are not Stromectol 3 mg tablets and they are not this cash row.
COVID-era hoarding is not an indication. Labeled US tablet uses remain strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis on the PI.
What 21 August 2026 still locks on this 3 mg tablet
The lock remains human 3 mg tablets plus the 200 mcg/kg strongyloides band on an empty stomach. Stromectol brand has no cash row. Generic 3 mg x 10 prints $36.45 / $23.76.
Oncho 150 mcg/kg is a different count. Veterinary paste is a different object. Write kilograms before you fly.
Mazzotti-type inflammation is an organism story
Oncho treatment can provoke inflammatory reactions as microfilaria die. Itch, fever, and tender nodes can be that story. Specialist follow-up owns it.
This is not a reason to take leftover 3 mg tablets because a forum said more drug calms inflammation. Extra drug can worsen neurologic risk.
Confusion or ataxia after a labeled count is urgent. 112 if you cannot walk.
Name the country and the parasite at the visit. 150 versus 200 mcg/kg depends on that sentence.
Peer-pass asks whether the kilogram row could be repeated aloud without guessing the indication.
Loa loa, MDR1 stories, and why this desk will not amateur those maps
High Loa loa microfilaria burdens plus ivermectin are specialist encephalopathy territory. A Reykjavik travel forum is not that desk.
MDR1 / P-gp loss-of-function stories and collie-dog folklore do not become a home genetic test before a 200 mcg/kg count. Overdose and barrier failure are how human synapses get involved.
Onchocerciasis adult worms survive. Counseling must say that retreats may be needed. Mixing 150 and 200 mcg/kg in one sentence is how tablet counts go wrong.
Strongyloides follow-up stools document clearance. Extra 3 mg tablets are not automatic because itch persisted for a day.
Date-stamp kilograms. Weight changes between travel years change the 66-79 kg five-tablet row.
Kilograms, breakfast, and the band you actually meant
Stromectol strongyloidiasis math is about 200 mcg/kg on an empty stomach with water. Onchocerciasis is about 150 mcg/kg. Mixing bands wrecks tablet counts.
The 66-79 kg row is five 3 mg tablets. A 22 kg child is not two leftovers from that row.
Food raises exposure. A pastry two hours before five tablets is a call, not an automatic redose and not an automatic ignore.
Rare warfarin INR rises still deserve a clinic call. Do not cut warfarin at home.
Veterinary paste is a different concentration. Neurotoxicity stories from those products are why this sentence will not retire.
Loa loa high-microfilaria risk is specialist encephalopathy territory. A leftover bottle is not that map.
Scabies repeats are a different clock. The scabies orbit trace owns it. This lock remains 3 mg plus 200 mcg/kg literacy.
Rosacea cream and lice lotion are other ivermectin products. Do not eat cream. Do not smear tablets.
No invented Stromectol brand dollar. Generic 3 mg x 10 is $36.45 / $23.76.
Write kilograms and indication on the bag. Locums cannot guess 150 versus 200 from blister art.
The 200 mcg/kg band on 3 mg objects
Strongyloidiasis table on Stromectol: 15-24 kg = 1 tablet, 25-35 kg = 2, 36-50 kg = 3, 51-65 kg = 4, 66-79 kg = 5, 80 kg and above = 200 mcg/kg. Follow-up stools document clearance. Extra doses are not automatic.
Onchocerciasis uses about 150 mcg/kg. Mass campaigns often retreat yearly; individual retreats can be as short as three months. Adult worms are not killed. That sentence belongs in counseling.
Scabies maps, when used, often repeat. The scabies orbit trace owns that clock. The dose trace owns the kilogram math. Do not mix 150 and 200 in the same sentence.
| Absorption | Oral; empty stomach with water; food increases bioavailability. |
|---|---|
| Distribution | Highly protein bound; wide tissue distribution. |
| Metabolism | CYP3A4 and P-gp involved; not a CYP1A2 celebrity like cipro-tizanidine. |
| Excretion | Fecal excretion dominates; half-life on the order of a day in typical adults. |
Airport math errors that look like a new parasite
Last year's five tablets at 72 kg become wrong if the person is now 82 kg. The table moves to calculated 200 mcg/kg, not a memory of five.
A 150 mcg/kg oncho memory applied to a strongyloides lock underdoses. Name the parasite before the milligrams.
A pastry at the gate plus five 3 mg tablets is a food-exposure pair. Call rather than redosing a second five-count in the jetway.
A child 22 kg offered two leftovers from a parent count is overdose math. The 15-24 kg row is one tablet if a clinician wrote it.
A veterinary tube in the checked bag is a different concentration. Do not 'top up' human 3 mg tablets with paste.
A Loa loa-possible itinerary plus a leftover bottle is specialist territory, not a gate swallow.
A rare warfarin INR still needs a clinic call. Do not cut warfarin at the airport pharmacy.
Write kilograms and 200 versus 150 on the boarding-pass sleeve. Blister art will not say it.
Seal the 3 mg count on empty-stomach math
If kilograms and breakfast were not named, the rare warfarin footnote was the wrong opening.
Confirm tablet counts with the clinician who weighed the patient. [email protected] for sources. 112 for severe neurologic symptoms.

Hrafn L., Reykjavik I weigh 72 kg. How many 3 mg tablets for the 200 mcg/kg band?
Desk reply
Stromectol's strongyloidiasis table lists 66-79 kg as five 3 mg tablets for a single oral dose near 200 mcg/kg, empty stomach with water. That is label math, not a scabies repeat clock and not the 150 mcg/kg oncho band. Confirm the indication with the prescriber before you count. The dose trace walks the kilogram rows. Caelum does not prescribe.
Ward clerk, Husavik Child 22 kg, parent has five leftover 3 mg tablets. Share two?
Desk reply
No. The 15-24 kg strongyloides row is one 3 mg tablet, and only if a clinician wrote that map. Two leftovers from a 72 kg count is how overdose starts. Seek a prescriber. Do not crush paste into juice.
Aslaug RR., Borgarnes I ate a pastry two hours before five 3 mg tablets. Redose?
Desk reply
Do not redose on your own. Food raises exposure; a pastry two hours prior may or may not have broken the empty-stomach rule depending on the clinic's clock. Call the prescriber with the exact hours. A second five-count is how overdose stories start. Veterinary paste is not the rescue.
Pall H., Egilsstadir Why no Stromectol price on the store cards?
Desk reply
This desk will not invent a brand Stromectol dollar. The printed cash is generic ivermectin 3 mg x 10 at $36.45 / $23.76. Giant Food, Costco, Publix, and Albertsons links are literacy. Caelum does not fill. Weight math stays in the body, not in a fake brand coupon.
Svana P., Akureyri Horse paste is cheaper. Same ivermectin?
Desk reply
No. Livestock products are different strengths and excipients. They are not Stromectol 3 mg tablets. Neurotoxicity stories from those products are why this desk repeats the sentence. Generic 3 mg x 10 is the printed cash ($36.45 / $23.76). This desk will not invent a brand Stromectol dollar.
Inga T., Vestmannaeyjar Dizzy and off-balance two hours after five 3 mg tablets. Wait it out?
Desk reply
Mild dizziness can happen. Ataxia, confusion, or seizure is urgent. Seek care rather than taking another tablet because 'the itch is still there.' 112 if you cannot walk or stay awake. Mention empty-stomach timing and exact tablet count.
Travel clinic, Keflavik Patient flew from Central Africa, leftover 3 mg in the bag. Take tonight?
Desk reply
Not if Loa loa is possible and no one has named the parasite. High microfilaria risk is specialist encephalopathy territory. Seek a clinician. Empty-stomach 200 mcg/kg is the strongyloides lock, not a leftover habit. Veterinary paste is not the backup. 112 for confusion or inability to walk.
Dora TT., Grindavik Rosacea cream in the cabinet. Same ivermectin as Stromectol 3 mg?
Desk reply
No. Soolantra-class cream is another product. Lice lotion is another. Neither is the 3 mg tablet and neither uses 200 mcg/kg math. Do not eat cream. Do not smear tablets.
Rut J., Isafjordur Oncho trip years ago used 150 mcg/kg. Why does this page say 200?
Desk reply
Onchocerciasis on the Stromectol PI is about 150 mcg/kg. Intestinal strongyloidiasis is about 200 mcg/kg. Caelum locks the 200 mcg/kg sentence for this orbit's SERP row. Mixing the bands is how tablet counts go wrong. Name the parasite before you name the milligrams.
Fjola VV., Stykkisholmur Can I take ivermectin 3 mg with leftover Vermox 100 for 'both worms'?
Desk reply
Do not home-stack. Different parasites, different math, different empty-stomach rule. Name the organism. See the mebendazole orbit for household pinworm clocks. See this orbit for 200 mcg/kg bands. Caelum does not invent combo worm coverage.
Yrsa 2I, Bolungarvik Weight up 8 kg since last travel. Same five 3 mg tablets?
Desk reply
The 66-79 kg row is five tablets for the 200 mcg/kg strongyloides table. If you crossed 80 kg, the label moves to 200 mcg/kg calculated, not a memory of five. Confirm indication - 150 mcg/kg oncho is a different count. Empty stomach still applies. Do not add a sixth tablet at the airport without a prescriber.
Disa M., Kopavogur Can I take the 3 mg tablets with breakfast so my stomach settles?
Desk reply
The label says empty stomach with water. Food raises ivermectin exposure. A comfort breakfast is a pharmacokinetic pair, not a kindness upgrade. If nausea is the issue, call the prescriber rather than inventing a with-food map. Do not switch to a veterinary paste because 'it comes with directions.'
Bergur S., Akranes Child is 22 kg. Share two of my leftover 3 mg tablets?
Desk reply
The 15-24 kg strongyloides row is one 3 mg tablet, not two, and only if a clinician wrote that map. Leftover adult counts are how households invent overdose. Seek a prescriber. Do not crush veterinary product into juice.
Erlendur UU., Saudarkrokur Follow-up stool still positive. Take another five 3 mg tomorrow?
Desk reply
Follow-up stools matter. Extra doses are not automatic. The prescriber decides whether a repeat 200 mcg/kg count is indicated. Do not invent a daily 3 mg habit because itch persisted. Confirm kilograms again if months have passed.
Kolbeinn R., Hafnarfjordur I am on warfarin. Extra INR after 200 mcg/kg?
Desk reply
Post-marketing INR rises with ivermectin plus warfarin are rare and still worth a clinic call when the count starts. Do not cut warfarin at home. Bring the 3 mg tablet name and the kilogram math so it is not filed as a mystery antiparasitic.
Birgir SS., Husavik Loa loa possible after Central Africa. Still take 200 mcg/kg tonight?
Desk reply
High Loa loa microfilaria risk is specialist territory. Do not swallow a 200 mcg/kg count from a leftover bottle because a travel clinic was closed. Seek a clinician who can name the parasite. Encephalopathy risk is why this desk will not amateur that map.
Atli G., Selfoss Scabies last year used two doses. Is that the 200 mcg/kg lock?
Desk reply
The lock is 3 mg tablets plus the 200 mcg/kg strongyloides-style band. Scabies repeats, when used, are a different clock. Read the scabies orbit trace with the clinician who diagnosed this episode. Do not copy last year's count onto a new weight or a new household.
Desk note, Laugavegur 28 What must the next chart show?
Desk reply
Kilograms, indication (200 versus 150 mcg/kg), empty-stomach timing, warfarin if present, and whether a repeat clock was planned. Confirm counts with the prescriber. [email protected] for sources. Ingrid peer-passes. She does not import paste.
