Topical cream: Not for oral, ophthalmic, or vaginal use; avoid contact with eyes and lips. Wash hands after application.
In infants <6 months, systemic absorption may be increased due to higher skin surface area to body mass ratio and immature skin barrier; risk for ivermectin toxicity potentially increased; avoid use in these patients (Sklice prescribing information 2017).

There are no known significant interactions.
Although use in pregnancy is likely low risk, agents other than ivermectin are currently recommended for the treatment of pediculosis pubis or scabies in pregnant patients (CDC [Workowski 2021]). Agents other than ivermectin may also be preferred for the treatment of rosacea during pregnancy (Gomolin 2021; Murase 2014).
It is not known if ivermectin is present in breast milk following topical application.
Ivermectin is present in breast milk following oral administration. According to the manufacturer, the decision to breastfeed during therapy should consider the risk of infant exposure, the benefits of breastfeeding to the infant, and the benefits of treatment to the mother. Use of topical ivermectin for the treatment of pediculosis pubis or scabies is likely compatible with breastfeeding (CDC [Workowski 2021]).
Lotion: Monitor scalp for live lice.
In pediculosis capitus treatment, ivermectin is a semisynthetic anthelminthic agent; it binds selectively and with strong affinity to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels which occur in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. This leads to increased permeability of cell membranes to chloride ions then hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cell, and death of the parasite.
In rosacea treatment, the mechanism of action is unknown.
Protein binding: >99%.
Metabolism: Metabolized hepatically by CYP3A4.
Half-life elimination: 1% cream: ~6.5 days.
Time to peak: 1% cream: ~10 hours post application.
