When is dizziness a sit-down versus an emergency?
Lightheaded after a counted swallow: sit, hydrate, do not drive. Collapse, confusion, seizures, or trouble standing after a microfilaricide in someone with African exposure is urgent.
Loa loa geography belongs on the Loa scan. This URL will not turn a 2.8 percent figure into a travel essay.
What showed up after the drug was registered overseas?
For all indications the post-marketing list includes hypotension (mainly orthostatic), worsening of bronchial asthma, TEN, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, seizures, hepatitis, and enzyme or bilirubin rises.
Those are rare registry notes, not the 2.8 percent. A blistering rash or yellow eyes after 3 mg is a same-day call, not a forum poll.
What did the 109-person set list besides dizziness?
Body: asthenia or fatigue 0.9 percent, abdominal pain 0.9 percent. Gut: anorexia 0.9, constipation 0.9, diarrhea 1.8, nausea 1.8, vomiting 0.9. Nervous: somnolence, vertigo, tremor 0.9 percent each. Skin: rash and urticaria 0.9 percent.
In comparative trials, abdominal distention and chest discomfort showed up more than with albendazole. Ivermectin was better tolerated than thiabendazole in a 37-person thiabendazole comparison.
Were there lab shifts in those 109 people?
ALT and/or AST up in 2 percent, leukocyte count down in 3 percent, regardless of drug relationship. Leukopenia and anemia in one patient.
Those are trial observations, not a home finger-stick plan. Call if you already have liver disease on the chart and a new yellow cast after the swallow.
I take warfarin and my head feels odd. Is that the 2.8 percent?
Maybe not. Rare post-marketing INR rises were reported with warfarin plus ivermectin. An odd head plus warfarin is a clinic or INR question, not a second 3 mg.
Do not stack leftover tablets to 'push through' a headache. Alcohol is a separate silent pairing: alcohol scan.
Why will this dizziness scan not quote oncho skin percentages?
Because the file says Mazzotti-type and ophthalmologic reactions would not be expected in strongyloidiasis patients. Glueing those percentages onto a 200 mcg/kg day is the two-table miss in another costume.
If the chart is onchocerciasis, stop this page and take that visit back. One indication. Refuse-mixing scan.
