Can ivermectin cause kidney damage?

Question

My neighbour was talking about ivermectin for some issue, and I was just looking it up. I have a history of kidney stones, so I'm always careful about new medicines. Can ivermectin cause any damage to the kidneys?

Beta, taking any strong modern medicine without a proper prescription can put load on your organs. Always drink plenty of water and warm tulsi-ginger decoctions to help clear toxins naturally. But please, never self-medicate with such strong tablets.

I don't understand why people are taking ivermectin based on random internet claims. High doses or unapproved usage can definitely harm your kidneys and liver. Please consult a qualified doctor and do not buy such medicines over the counter.

Kabir Malhotra · Answer

At normal prescribed doses, ivermectin is generally safe and doesn't cause kidney damage. But if you abuse it or take random high dosages, it can obviously stress your kidneys. Just stick to what your doctor advises and don't self-prescribe.

Keep your mind calm and do not worry excessively. If a doctor has prescribed it to you in the correct amount, it will not harm your kidneys. Just take your medicines with a pure heart and keep your body well hydrated.

Suresh Bansal · Answer

If you have been taking ivermectin for a long time and are worried, just spend 400 rupees and get a basic Kidney Function Test (KFT) done at a local lab. It is much better and cheaper than worrying constantly and running to expensive clinics later.
