I took my first dose (8 pills) about a week ago. Is it safe to drink now? I know that alcohol makes the side effects worse so im just checking.
Stromectol - How long after 1 dose of ivermectin can I drink alcohol?

Ivermectin is metabolized through the liver and traces are found in feces for as long as 12 days. Since ethanol (alcohol) can increase blood levels of ivermectin and cause more serious possible side effects I'd abstain as long as possible.
You might also consult with your doctor for her/his professional advice.
