Ivermectin continues to come up in patient conversations—and not just for adults.
Can ivermectin now be used safely in all kids after the recent KIDs List update?
In this BONUS mailbag episode of Rumor vs Truth, we answer a listener question about ivermectin use in kids. Hosts Don Weinberger, PharmD and Steve Small, PharmD break down what actually changed with ivermectin in the 2025 update to the KIDs List—and what it does (and doesn’t) mean for clinical practice. This “kid-sized” question packs a bigger clinical punch than you might expect.
Together, they discuss:
- What actually drove the KIDs List change
- Where the supporting evidence is strong—and where it’s limited
- Why “removed from the list” ≠ “safe for all kids”
- How to apply this update in real-world pediatric decisions
