The ivermectin in your dog's heartworm prescription is not meant for human use.

DEAR DR. ROACH: In several of your columns, either you or a reader has brought up the subject of ivermectin as a treatment for infections or cancer. Is this the same ivermectin that is in my dog’s heartworm medication? The label on the dog medication says ivermectin/pyrantel. If it is the same, is it really safe for us humans? -- L.M.H.
