Just found out my friend has had Covid-19 for nine days. Will Ivermectin still help her? How many 6 mg would she need for a dose? She is slim, slight build, and now doubt has lost a lot of weight.
https://vladimirzelenkomd.com/treatment-protocol/
Moderate / High risk patients
Elemental Zinc 50-100mg once a day for 7 days
Vitamin C 1000mg 1 time a day for 7 days
Vitamin D3 10000iu once a day for 7 days or 50000iu once a day for 1-2 days
Azithromycin 500mg 1 time a day for 5 days or
Doxycycline 100mg 2 times a day for 7 days
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 200mg 2 times a day for 5-7 days and/or
Ivermectin 0.4-0.5mg/kg/day for 5-7 days Either or both HCQ and IVM can be used, and if one only, the second agent may be added after about 2 days of treatment if obvious recovery has not yet been observed etc.
Treatment Options
Dexamethasone 6-12mg 1 time a day for 7 days or
Prednisone 20mg twice a day for 7 days, taper as needed
Budesonide 1mg/2cc solution via nebulizer twice a day for 7 days
Blood thinners (i.e. Lovenox, Eliquis, Xarelto, Pradaxa, Aspirin)
Colchicine 0.6mg 2-3 times a day for 5-7 days
Monoclonal antibodies
Home IV fluids and oxygen

So if your friend is 100 - 120 lbs = 45-54kg (https://www.calculateme.com/weight/pounds/to-kilograms/120)
then 0.5 mg /kg would be 22-27 mg per day (so 4 6mg caps per day) probably space them apart during the day maybe taking 2 caps ASAP and then 2 later, to see if they are tolerable to gut
Elsewhere I have seen a ballpark daily dose of 18mg.

While I would start Ivermectin and you may find it works like a charm, I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket starting late. I see that Zelenko says you can take both Ivermectin AND HCQ/AZ. I do think 'more' should be attempted up front rather than waiting to see how Ivermectin handles it.
Below, Zelenko says up to .5 mg/kg/day, so convert her body weight to kilograms here:
Pounds to Kilograms | lbs to kg conversion (metric-conversions.org)
Check my suggestion with someone smart - .5mg times her weight to see her daily dose from 5 - 7 days (check Zelenko's protocol notes below)
I think start Ivermectin and all others you have on hand (see below) while seeking an online medical appointment from FrontlineDoctors, or McCullough and others together at this website: https://earlycovidcare.org/ or other on an urgent basis. Don't wait to see - just go agressive on all available options.
