You didn’t read what I posted.


“Ivermectin has a wide therapeutic index and previous studies have shown doses up to 2000 mcg/kg (ie, 10 times the US Food and Drug Administration approved dose) are well tolerated and safe...”...

A horse tube has 113,750 mcg of ivermectin. “Well tolerated and safe” for AN ENTIRE TUBE works out to a person who weighs 57 kg or 125 lbs!”


My point was that even if you took TEN TIMES the maximum dose the FDA allows - “doses up to 2000 mcg/kg” - it would be “well tolerated and safe...” based on US government published studies.

And that, in turn, means someone over 125 lbs taking an ENTIRE tube would get a dose that has already been tested on humans and found to be “well tolerated and safe...”!

For COVID, recommended protocols found in various studies suggest using either a 1:1 ration of human to horse (ie, a 150 lb person dialing in the syringe for 150 lbs) or double that (a 150 lb person dialing in 300 lbs of horse wormer). I have the stuff around for my horses. If I catch COVID, they will send me home to wait to see if I get really sick - and in that case, I’ll take a double dose based on the information I’ve seen. And believe I’m well inside what a human can take safely - per government published studies.

Yea, you’re right. My bad!

I know several times the regular dosage (upto ~20x I believe) is perfectly safe, just didn’t see you were talking about a 10x dose in your post :p
