Breakout on buttok and top of arms with brown spots (scarring). Pain in stomach, legs back couldent walk as time progressed. Almost was paralized, possible from fecal material from parasites entering my bloodstream. Went to dermatoligist for breakout he prescribed Stromectol one time (four pills) treatment. Within two days i was able to walk again and feel almost no pain. Side effects first week: Joint and muscle pain. Stomach pain, dizzyness, sleeply, then within second week RELIEF!!!!!!! Going back for another check up. Dr. also prescribed Creme for breakout. I am now cleansing with Dr. Natura Colon Cleanse. Love my Dermatoligist!!! Saved my life as i felt like i was going to die soon. Feel great today!Read More Read Less

Dr perscribed me one dose of 3mg - it took a couple of days to work was great - first real relief since this all started - but now he refuses to do retreat before 3mths - although he orignally stated could retreat in 2 wks - the itching is back and not going away - I question if dosage was enough and why not a retreatment

No side effects. Took second half of dose (six 3mg tablets) one week later. In about 2-3 weeks I was not getting new breakouts and some of the older ones were clearing up. Itching still, but mostly at night. It does not wake me up itching like in the beginning. I think this should be the first line of treatment. I wasted a lot of money on doctors and medications before I got this and I had to beg my doc to give it to me. I now have a dose on hand in case I ever get this again. Read More Read Less

I have taken the prescribed 2 doses, one week apart for scabies. No discernable changes in my condition. I did not experience any side effects. Itook it on an empty stomach at bedtime.

Terrible itching for weeks. Doctor noted symptoms and signs and prescribed this medication. Immediate relief, but did require a second dose 1-week later. The relief from itching was worth it. Wish I had known sooner.
