Ivermectin question. Just had bloodwork done and my liver enzymes are elevated. I take a ton of supplements including D zinc and quercetin, and took horse paste about 6 times in the last yr. I’m now finding articles saying that’s causing liver damage. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I never take ibuprofen or Tylenol and rarely drink ( altho that’s just cause I have no social life. Lol) |
Our medical enemies took mild, reversible issues with liver toxicity and blew it all over the Internet as a clear and present danger. Japan doesn't require a prescription for Ivermectin and the public has been using it safely at their own discretion for years. I do see notices like "tell your doctor if you have if you liver or kidney disease" so the period of time that Ivermectin is interacting with the liver can be harder on those with other medical issues impacting liver.

Excerpt:
Hepatotoxicity
Single dose therapy with ivermectin has been associated with a low rate of serum aminotransferase elevations. A single case of clinically apparent liver injury has been reported after ivermectin use (Case 1). The onset of injury occurred 1 month after a single dose and was characterized by a hepatocellular pattern of serum enzyme elevations without jaundice. Recovery was rapid and complete. In trials of ivermectin to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and to ameliorate the course of early as well as severe COVID-19, serum aminotransferase elevations were not uncommon but were no more frequent among patients receiving ivermectin than among those receiving placebo or a comparator drug.
Likelihood score: D (possible rare cause of mild clinically apparent liver injury).
Mechanism of Injury
Ivermectin acts by interference with chloride channels that are important in neuromuscular activity in parasitic worms and protozoa, but has little activity against mammalian neural transmission. The mechanism by which it might cause liver injury is unknown.
Outcome and Management
Ivermectin is usually well tolerated and the liver injury reported with its use has been mild and self-limited in course. Ivermectin has not been associated with acute liver failure or chronic liver injury.
Drug Class: Anthelmintic Agents
