I have some 3mg ivermectin pills. I weigh 145 pounds. How many should I take as a preventative and how often?

It is common to see a recommendation of 12-13 mg for a typically-sized adult, but wide variations in dosage also have been used.

The model was based on healthy participants who took 12 mg ivermectin orally after food. A hundred simulations of total and bound ivermectin were performed to track the total plasma concentration-time profile. Different doses were used, such as the approved dose of 200 μg/kg, 120 mg in a single weekly dose, and 60 mg three times a week (at 72-hour intervals, in healthy subjects).
