Is ivermectin good for arthritis in humans?

My joints ache constantly, especially my hands. My neighbour told me that he knows someone who found relief for their arthritis using ivermectin. Is ivermectin good for arthritis in humans, or is that just a rumour?

Ivermectin is typically used for parasitic infections, not for conditions like arthritis. Using medication for something it's not intended for can be risky. Always check with a doctor to be safe and get the right treatment for your specific condition.

Yaar, if Ivermectin could cure arthritis, I'd be taking it for my knee pains from running after my kid all day. But no, it's not for that. Please just go to a proper doctor for arthritis, don't try these internet remedies.

For arthritis, the main thing is proper diagnosis and then treatment. Medicines like Ivermectin are generally for other issues. If you have arthritis, gentle exercises, walking, and diet as advised by your doctor usually help a lot, along with their prescribed meds. Don't experiment with random drugs.

Nope! Ivermectin isn't typically used for arthritis in humans. It's usually for parasitic infections. 😊 For arthritis, you should definitely consult a rheumatologist for the right diagnosis and proper treatment plan! Don't self-medicate! ✨

Na, na, Ivermectin arthritis ke liye nahi hota hai. Wo parasites ke liye hai. Arthritis ke liye toh alag medicines aur treatment hota hai, haan. Doctor ko dikhao, wahi best batayenge.
