Can you drink alcohol with Stromectol 3 mg?

Last reviewed · 3 min read · Updated

Bone review card, cobalt edge, lime chip: wine aside, 3 mg tablets

No alcohol stop is written on the US Stromectol label. There is no metronidazole-style pairing sentence to quote. In four strongyloides studies (109 people, 170 to 200 mcg/kg), dizziness was 2.8 percent. This board still locks a single 200 mcg/kg swallow for intestinal strongyloidiasis. If you are already lightheaded, drinks are a poor add-on. Panel.

Someone drank and then took horse paste. Is that this page?

Paste plus anything is poison control. Veterinary intoxication lists rash, edema, headache, dizziness, asthenia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea among the frequent reports.

Keep the tube. This alcohol scan will not convert paste. Veterinary paste is the stop.

Does the PI name beer, wine, or spirits?

No. Drug-interaction language that is written is a rare post-marketing INR rise with warfarin. Alcohol is not in that sentence.

Do not invent a wash-out clock because another antiparasitic has one. Stay with what the Stromectol file prints. Dizziness numbers sit next door.

Why mention dizziness on an alcohol page?

Because 2.8 percent is the labelled nervous-system figure in that 109-person strongyloides set. Somnolence, vertigo, and tremor were 0.9 percent each.

If the room is already spinning after the counted swallow, adding ethanol is not a study anyone ran for you. Sit. Hydrate. Call if it worsens.

I have to take the tablets fasting. Can I drink at dinner?

The swallow is empty stomach with water. Dinner later is a separate meal question. A high-fat dinner changes bioavailability in PK work. Alcohol on top is still unlabelled.

If the clinic wants a clean fasting morning, keep that morning clean. Party logistics are not a second 200 mcg/kg. Empty-stomach detail: empty-stomach scan.

Can I drive to work the morning after a 200 mcg/kg day?

The label does not write a driving ban. Dizziness was uncommon in the 109-person set, not zero. If you are spinning, do not drive.

Half-life near 18 hours is a plasma figure, not a clearance certificate for a night of drinks. Clock detail: duration scan.

What interaction did the label actually write?

Rare post-marketing reports of increased INR when ivermectin was coadministered with warfarin. That is a clotting-test sentence, not a pub sentence.

If you take warfarin, the INR conversation belongs with the prescriber. Do not treat a beer rumor as a substitute for that lab.

Board thread

Answers follow the U.S. Stromectol label.

Kamal R., Agincourt I am on warfarin. Does a beer change the 3 mg count?

Board reply

Warfarin is the labelled INR watch, rarely, when taken with ivermectin. Beer is not a dose-adjustment tool. Keep the strongyloides integer at about 200 mcg/kg as written and ask the clinician about INR timing.

Dario F., Trinity Bellwoods Can I drink alcohol with Stromectol 3 mg?

Board reply

The US label does not write an alcohol stop. Dizziness was 2.8 percent in the 109-person strongyloides set. If you already feel lightheaded after the 200 mcg/kg swallow, skip the drinks and sit.

Elise W., Moore Park Wine with the tablets so my stomach behaves?

Board reply

No. The swallow is water on an empty stomach. Wine is not the counselling liquid. Call the clinic if nausea is the worry.
