QUESTION
Ivermectin is used against?
OPTIONS
(A) Ascariosis
(B) Hookworms
(C) Strongyle
(D) All of the above
ANSWER
(D) All of the above
EXPLANATION
Ivermectin is a macrocyclic lactone effective against many gastrointestinal nematodes, including Ascaridia and strongyles, and also has activity against hookworms. Thus, ascariosis, hookworm infection, and strongyle infection can all be treated with ivermectin, making “all of the above” correct; it is not a drug for lung flukes.
