Ivermectin for Parkinson’s & Dementia: Exploring Its Potential as an Adjunct Neuroprotective Therapy (2025)

Can Ivermectin play a key role in treating Parkinson's Disease?

"The findings implicate the potential use of Ivermectin as a lead candidate for use as a novel adjunct therapy in combination with L-DOPA for Parkinson's Disease patients.” 2021 Dongwook Wi PhD Thesis : “The possible application of Ivermectin (IVM) in conjunction with L-DOPA for PD patients was introduced as a new treatment therapy in this study. By showing the efficacy of IVM on two PD animal models, including MPTP and 6-OHDA...
