Ivrea
Ivrea contains Ivermectin, an antiparasitic agent with anti-inflammatory properties. The topical cream (Ivrea 1%) is widely prescribed to reduce the inflammatory bumps and redness associated with rosacea. The shampoo and lotion formulations are designed to target and eliminate head lice by paralyzing and killing the parasites. Oral ivermectin is used for systemic parasitic infestations.
