Because ivermectin is unlicensed in the UK, no costs could be obtained from standard published sources. No data were identified that reported the extent to which ivermectin is currently being used to treat scabies in the UK. The summaries provide information for clinicians and patients to inform their decision-making and support the construction and updating of local formularies.
The summaries support decision-making on the use of an unlicensed or off-label medicine for an individual patient, where there are good clinical reasons for its use, usually when there is no licensed medicine for the condition requiring treatment, or the licensed medicine is not appropriate for that individual. The strengths and weaknesses of the relevant evidence are critically reviewed within this summary, but this summary is not NICE guidance.
