Elaborating on the effective methods being followed for treating COVID-19 across the globe, Shashikanth Manikappa, a specialist cardiac anaesthetist working at Monash Health in Melbourne, Australia, has strongly advised what he termed Quadruple Therapy involving four medicines — Ivermectin, Doxycycline, Zinc and Vitamin D3 — as a preventive as well as treating method.
Addressing a media conference in Kalaburagi on Monday, the senior doctor said that the use of Ivermectin would be more effective than that of Hydroxychloroquine which was widely being used worldwide, right from the outbreak of the pandemic.
Referring to a pre-official release of a randomised controlled trial using Ivermectin in three doses in primary contacts of COVID-19, Dr. Manikappa said that 93 % of primary contacts who received Ivermectin did not develop any symptoms and 58 % of primary contacts who did not receive Ivermectin did progress to have symptoms of the pandemic.
“Quadruple Therapy includes Ivermectin 12 mg one dose, Doxycycline 100 mg once a day for four days, Zinc 50 mg once a day for four days and Vitamin D3 once a week. Ivermectin, Doxycycline and Zinc are to be repeated every 14 days and Vitamin D3 every week with blood levels monitored. The synergistic effect of these medicine acts to prevent viral multiplication and also stop the virus from entering human cells. Thomas Borody, an Australian gastroenterologist who is known for curing peptic ulcers with triple antibiotic therapy, has revealed that one block in South America that received Ivermectin combination prophylaxis did not contract coronavirus infection while others did,” he said.
On the side effects, Dr. Manikappa said that Ivermectin was being used in 3.7 billion people for intestinal parasites and was found to be safe. “These are not new medicine. They are already in use for treating different ailments and are found to be safe. They can be prescribed by any doctor to control the pandemic,” he said.
Asked about the statutory guidelines for the use of these medicine, Dr. Manikappa said that the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) had, though late, come up with new guidelines recommending Ivermectin.
District Kannada Vaidya Sahitya Parishat president S.S. Gubb and joint secretary Shashishekhar Reddy were present.
Most people can’t remember to take daily medications — I think its a reasonable protocol
American media, Democrats and neo-statists hold press conference claiming that Ivermectin will kill people from heart attacks and the growth of numerous tentacles that spit acid.
“What I think makes this a little better is that the Ivermectin is an actual antibiotic”
Ivermectin is NOT an antibiotic:
“Ivermectin is FDA-approved for use in animals for prevention of heartworm disease in some small animal species, and for treatment of certain internal and external parasites in various animal species. ... Ivermectin is in a class of medications called anthelmintics.”

” So I suppose using the term antimicrobial is loose.”
no ... it shows complete ignorance ...
Thanks!
I wonder....have their cancer rates decreased?
Numerous testicles...now we’re talking!
RE: I wonder....have their cancer rates decreased?
What does cancer have to do with this?
President Trump hasn’t spoken in favor of Ivermectin so this treatment may have a chance of widespread use.
That too. Everything about this virus has been intentional, including the creation of it.
Look...your insult was unwarranted you putz. I looked it up in my Pharmacology text. This drug increases cell membrane permeability for parasites allowing them to die. It is an antibiotic so I kindly invite you to go condescend to someone else. What an ass
BKMK - covid
I believe a 50,000 IU weekly injection of D3 is quite common. Daily administration is fine as maintenance treatment.
It also has anti-parasite and anti-viral properties.
With respect sir. It is true of all the macrolides. I have seen many here and in other places ridicule the idea of antibiotics being anti-viral. They are not stupid, thinking this. However, the effect is real though relatively small.
