Popis: Clinical trials of Ivermectin in single oral doses of 200, 400, and 1,000 mg/kg body weight or in multiple doses of 200 mg/kg body weight for 5 consecutive days were performed in leaf monkeys (Presbytis cristatus) infected with Wuchereria kalimantani. Optimal microfilaricidal effect occurred at 200 mg/kg body weight. The drug was less effective than diethylcarbamazine in this animal model for human filariasis but had no adverse effects.
