This case report presents an older male who presented with small bowel obstruction after ingesting ivermectin horse paste that he had purchased online without a prescription. Unfortunately, ingestion of ivermectin by humans, including non-human formulations, has become more common after it was misrepresented as a treatment for COVID during the pandemic. This patient experienced a recurrent small bowel obstruction that resulted in life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding and required multiple surgeries. As such, it should serve as a warning of the dangers involved in consuming medicines for off-label indications without direct supervision by a medical professional.
