Can ivermectin cause liver damage?

Since I have PCOS, my liver health is something I am always cautious about, as we are prone to fatty liver. Ivermectin is processed by the liver, so taking too much of it can definitely cause strain. Please check with your doctor before taking it, especially if you already have any metabolic issues.

Don't stress out over this. In standard, short-term doses prescribed for parasitic infections, ivermectin rarely causes liver issues. Just don't self-medicate or take it for long periods, and your liver will be perfectly fine.

I have thyroid issues so I get my liver enzymes and thyroid levels checked every six months. If you are taking any strong antiparasitic like ivermectin, it is wise to do a routine LFT (Liver Function Test) to monitor how your body is handling it. Always do a follow-up with your doctor.

Your liver processes everything you put in, so overloading it with self-medicated drugs is never a good idea. Keep your metabolism active with at least a 30-minute brisk walk daily, and stick strictly to doctor-prescribed doses to keep your liver safe.

At my age, with high BP, I have to be very careful about what pills I take. Ivermectin is generally safe, but any medication can strain the liver if misused. Make sure you get regular health checkups and only take this medicine under strict supervision.
