The global COVID-19 health emergency has created a need to find medications to help treat and combat it. In this context, Ivermectin was established as an option frequently recommended by doctors, making it essential that it be correctly prescribed and dispensed to patients. Objective: To determine drug interactions in ivermectin prescriptions filled at the pharmacy of Neighborhood Health Center No. 3 from May to December 2020, in compliance with good prescribing practices. Methodology: This was a descriptive study, supported by the use of forms for data collection from 204 prescriptions at the Health Center's pharmacy. Results: Prescriber data was completed in over 95% of prescriptions, and patient data had even higher completion rates, always exceeding 97%. Medication data completion surpassed 98%. Drug interactions were found in 81 prescriptions, all of which were of moderate severity with a potential clinical manifestation. No pharmacological follow-up was performed to determine a real clinical manifestation. Furthermore, all 81 (100%) of the interactions were potential pharmacokinetic interactions, and none were potential pharmacodynamic interactions. Conclusion: Although good prescribing practices were well implemented, a key finding is that potential drug interactions were present in the patients' treatments, as identified through information searches.
