From the FDA Drug Label

The safety and pharmacokinetic properties of ivermectin were further assessed in a multiple-dose clinical pharmacokinetic study involving healthy volunteers. In general, treatment of an elderly patient should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

The potential effects of a 3-day course of ivermectin in a healthy 66-year-old are not directly stated in the label. Caution is advised when treating elderly patients due to the potential for decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and concomitant disease or other drug therapy. However, the label does not provide specific information on the effects of a 3-day course of ivermectin in a healthy 66-year-old. 1 1
