It’s the dosage my doctor will determine after the clinical trials are completed. From what I have seen, the efficacy of ivermectin has not even been established.
In November 2020, the FDA granted emergency use authorization to two monoclonal antibody treatments (bamlanivimab, made by Eli Lilly; and a combination of casirivimab and imdevimab, made by Regeneron).
Many doctors, including those in the United States, have been treating very ill COVID-19 patients with corticosteroids since the pandemic began. It makes biologic sense for those patients who have developed a hyper-immune response (a cytokine storm) to the viral infection. In these cases, it is the immune system’s overreaction that is damaging the lungs and other organs, and too often leading to death.
Dexamethasone and other corticosteroids (prednisone, methylprednisolone) are potent anti-inflammatory drugs. They are readily available and inexpensive.
As always, please consult your doctor and keep an open mind to the advice you will receive. It’s best to keep your doctor on your team, rather than on a debate team.
I posted that link fully aware you wouldn’t bother to watch the video.
– The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), a group of highly published, world-renowned critical care physicians and scholars, today praised the recent updated guidance from the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) to include ivermectin in its guidelines for the treatment of COVID-19.

I see you in this thread about your stance on ivermectin, but either have over looked or you haven’t commented on the OP who passed away on Aug 1st after requesting the monoclonal treatment but was denied multiple times. I was almost in a similar situation as ER discharged me with no meds, and this was day 5 of COVID with horrible cough but oximeter never below 96 and chest xrays checked out as good. Problem was it took 3 days to get in for infusion and i was the one doing all the running around as noone ever followed up on what they were supposed to do. People not calling me back, and i had to coordinate with this Infectious Disease Associates first but no one would give me a number to call them so a good day and a half was wasted while my health was declining based on their incompetence. Then when i got the approval from the Infectious Disease Associates, my fate was in the hands of the Infusion center which was part of the walk in clinic that 4 days prior refused to treat me. That was an ordeal where i was calling every hour on the hour and they would just tell me there was no further updates. When i finally get to infusion center she asked when i first has symptoms and this was day 8 and she told me if i was any later i wouldn’t have been able to be treated. And the 3 or 4 day wait was due to THEIR incompitence. Would be curious on your feedback on this horrible care and what they did to the OP.
