    Ivermectin Iverheal 6mg is a medication primarily used to treat parasitic infections, including scabies, head lice, and certain types of worms. It has been approved by health authorities, including the FDA, for its efficacy in treating these conditions. While the side effects of ivermectin are generally mild and temporary, hair loss is not typically listed as a common side effect of the drug. However, some individuals may report experiencing hair thinning or shedding when taking ivermectin, but this can often be attributed to other factors, such as the underlying health condition being treated or other medications being used in combination.

    In rare cases, individuals using ivermectin for conditions like scabies or head lice might experience side effects that indirectly lead to hair loss. For instance, the intense itching or inflammation associated with the parasitic infection itself can cause hair shedding. In addition, some people might use ivermectin as part of a topical treatment, which can cause skin irritation, dryness, or an allergic reaction, potentially leading to hair thinning in the treated area.

    Too bad Ivermactin doesn't work on forum parasites.
