Is Ivomec an effective treatment for my dog's Demodex mange?

Question

So my dog has Demodex mange on his face, parts of his back, and chest area. I went to a vet and they said to give him this oral medication every day for 2 weeks. It says "ivomec 1% 50ml per 10ml". Is this a good treatment and will it get rid of the mange? Pet's info: Dog | Boston Terrier | Male | unneutered | 8 lbs

Hello. Yes, Ivermectin is used to treat demodectic mange in dogs. The dose is given once a day & repeat skin scrapes are done. Once there are 2 negative scrapes where no live mites are found, the ivermectin will be discontinued. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
