It's not all that safe for use in dogs. If you have a collie or australian shepard you have to test them for the MDRI gene or they can have seizures and other medical issues with ivermectin. I try to give my dogs the lowest possible effective dose. I give them ivermectin liquid as it's cheaper than heartgard meds. I buy it from amazon. I've never heard of it being used in humans though b4 reading this article.

I've used invermectin on patients with resistant scabies. Well tolerated (and they were older adults) but I'd wait for more research in humans with MS unless you have scabies 😉
