About Ivermectin
Ivermectin is an antiparasitic medicine with a long and important history in Nigeria. Best known here by the brand Mectizan, it is the backbone of the national programme against river blindness (onchocerciasis) — a disease spread by blackfly bites that, untreated, causes intense itching, skin damage, and blindness. For decades ivermectin has been distributed free in community mass-treatment campaigns across affected Nigerian communities, and it has transformed the outlook for millions of people.
