Overdose and treatment: Accidental intoxication with substantial or unknown quantities of veterinary formulations of ivermectin in humans by ingestion, inhalation, injection, or exposure to body surfaces has been most frequently associated with rash, edema, headache, dizziness, asthenia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea; seizure, ataxia, dyspnea, abdominal pain, paresthesia, urticaria, and contact dermatitis also have been reported.
If accidental poisoning with ivermectin occurs, supportive measures, including parenteral fluids and electrolytes, respiratory therapy (e.g., oxygen, mechanical ventilation), and pressor agents should be instituted if indicated. Emesis and/or gastric lavage should be induced as soon as possible. Additional measures (e.g., purgatives) may be indicated if needed to prevent absorption of ingested material.
