COVID-19: Ivermectin

[Kooky Korky]

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

This comment doesn't answer the question about which studies demonstrated effective treatment of covid with the drug.  

Given all the data At this point it would be considered unethical to do RCTs. 
I can’t believe the thinking process... pts have Covid but not a home treatment option to help prevent them from getting worse or admitted. Sit at home and wait until you can’t breath. 
OR a simple solution to help with preventing viral replication. Ivermectin has been considered an antiviral, anti inflammatory and also antihelminth. Just because it wasn’t marketed by pharmaceuticals as such or FDA approved for those things doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have those qualities.— off label use.

So there are no studies that demonstrate effectiveness in humans that you would like to point to? Which studies specifically?

Go down the list. Lots of data and info to be found. 
 

or you can do a simple search and find stuff... too much stuff to post but you get the idea.

Those are all from a simple search. I don’t see why something would not be prescribed when someone first shows symptoms... Given the knowledge that it’s an anti inflammatory and also antiviral. We are setting pts up for failure by doing nothing.

I enjoyed the reading.  This part stuck out to me...

It is certainly safer than the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. (Note that I am not an anti-vaxxer. However, I prefer the time tested vaccine types over the mRNA type.)

So, are you recommending that people are prescribed this drug when they are symptomatic with a positive test, asymptomatic with a positive test, or sick with covid?

I think it’s perfectly clear. My cats have all be dewormed with ivermectin (repeatedly, because they hunt and eat their rodent prey) and they have never had any signs of COVID. Good enough for me.
