  • Experts

Anyone hear of this med?  It is anti-parasitic and has tremendous ability to knock out COVID 19, too.

    I might also add that it has a very wide margin for safety. I was once treating a foal for worms and had diles the amount on the tube. put it in the foals mouth and pressed the plunger The stop ring broke and the foal got the whole tube. I checked with vet who assured me the foal would be fine and it was.

    This drug is safe for human use.  It is yet to be demonstrated that the in vitro results can be duplicated/documented invivo.

    Sadley most veterinary pharmeceuticals are made by the same folks who make the human drugs. You can buy things like Bi-Cillin for cows or horses at the feed store and a lot of other remedies like vaccines and but for any of the good stuff Like Doggie Norco you still have to have a prescription.

    Right, that's what I meant.  I'll bet straight bleach kills a lot of things too but that doesn't mean it's good for cancer.  Hopefully enough people will get the vaccine so we can achieve herd immunity.

    While its use in treating COVID-19 is a recent discovery, and still under investigation, you do realize that ivermectin is currently used, and has been for some time in treating several conditions?

    One if my colleagues said she ordered it online and never received it. I guess a lot of scams going on with promising drugs. 

    I hope it works. 

    But how does one get their hands on it? 

    I bet if it's officially proven to be effective , you won't find any around for purchase

    Well you can get it through veterinary resources. Still I wouldn't just go buy it and take it remember the Hydroxychloroquine scandal when people were buying the kind used to treat fish?

    Not the same things.  Hydroxychloroquine sulfate is the antimalarial medication that had been touted by Mr. Trump.  Chloroquine phosphate is the aquarium cleaner.
