“My crappy back of the envelope calculations led me to a resulting does of about 4000 micrograms per kilogram, but thats probably wrong. Interesting stuff, humans can tolerate quite a lot of it, I read where doses of 2000 micrograms per kilogram have been used in humans.”
Not to criticize you, but the numbers that I’m see is far lower, around 175 ug/kg to 200 ug/kg. In fact, India’s recommended dosage for both Coronavirus protection and treatment is 175 ug/kg, or about 12 mg for an average sized man.
This was an old post, based on the original paper. The concentration they used was very high, what was not know was whether a lower concentration would work. Apparently now, they have found that the normal human dosage for Ivermectin works pretty well. Which is good, I only have to take 1g of horse dewormer instead of the whole thing :)
Exactly. I did finally run across the 2000 number - it equated to the test-tube study they did where it killed nearly all of the virus. But everything for people was in the range of 175-200...so yes, your (soon to be sold out) tubes should last much longer!
