That’s about the scope of it.....the MILLIONS of ‘issues’ were that Trump mentioned it.

[Steve_Seattle]

So, how long before the FDA bans Ivermectin?

[ptsal]

Bkmk

[Crucial]

Quite right, Jane. But if this is more effective...

[Jane Long]

That’s what time (and any reliable studies??) will tell.

I’m all for what works the best, overall.

May end up being a combo.....to treat the masses.

That drug has been around for years
Used to treat river blindness ( parasite) in Africa and scabies and headlice
One of the world’s safest drugs and widely used

[silverleaf]

Dont use the whole tube unless the patient weighs 1250 pounds

This is not medical advice....

[silverleaf]

As soon as people start talking about it

Human drug version is called Stromectol

[know.your.why]

Not taking it. Don’t care what they say. All credibility is lost.

[Equine1952]

Boy yeah, you weigh as much as my wife’s red pony you got over lying, under lying, and in between lying conditions. First question, how the hell did you get in Walmart? I’ve never seen anyone in there wearing a saddle and a mask. Besides it’s the vet you gotta see.

[silverleaf]

Amazon or just about any farm store
$6 a tube
Prob gonna disappear when people find out

This is not veterinary advice

“What’s so hard about dividing by 10???”

I read up on the dosage recommendations in India, and this is what I can tell for people who are NOT yet infected (as always, I am NOT a doctor):

1: Dosage is 12 mg (keep in mind that people are much lighter there, so 12 mg might be low here).
2: If you think you had contact with an infected person, then take a Day 1 dose, followed by a Day 7 dose.
3: If you work in healthcare, do the same as above, then follow with a Day 30 dose. Continue every 30 days if your work keeps you at risk of infected people.

The equine version is a tube with about 114 mg in it, by my calculation. For a human wanting 12 mg, the tube is good for 9.5 doses (again, at 12 mg per dose).

So far I haven’t been able to ascertain the risk regarding a human taking the proper amount of the equine version, but if there is a risk, I’d like to know.

Again, do your own homework, and don’t take this medicine without a doctor telling you it’s ok.

It’s also used to worm horses and comes in Apple flavor.

Why would anyone want to worm horses? DE-worming ... yes. But worming?! Ugh!

[ottbmare]

It tastes horrible. And the banana flavor is worse.

RE: Don’t care what they say. All credibility is lost.

Can you elaborate as to why?

[Candor7]

Ivermectin has been in use since the 1970’s, who has the patent for this?>>>>>>>>

It was discovered in Japan and an anti-parasitic.

I am not sure whether the patent is valid after 50 years have expired.Its an open drug IMHO. made by many corporations all over ye world.

[mad_as_he$$]

Found myself mentally calculating the dose for a 200 pound human. Years a go one of my geldings snort an dose of apple out of his mouth and it hit me in my open mouth. The apple flavor isn’t bad.

The Australian Centre for Digestive Diseases says the medication is an effective treatment...

I won't believe it until I hear it from the Podiatrist's Guild.

I've always thought that HCQ+ was the safe,effective treatment for CV19 and then I watched a corrupt political agenda demonize it in a sad attempt to feed their insatiable appetite for power even more no matter the cost. As far as I am concerned there is no reason to use anything other than a proven, safe, effective drug that been in use for decades. I cannot trust any other "cure" that was developed under such circumstances as we see today.
