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.

Buy the apple flavored Ivermectin at your horse vet. The horse likes it, you’ll like it and you both won’t have worms. 😁

“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 ...

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

I believe a 50,000 IU weekly injection of D3 is quite common. Daily administration is fine as maintenance treatment.

Ivermectin falls into the category of macrolide antibiotics. Anther macrolide is azithromax.

It also has anti-parasite and anti-viral properties.

"... complete ignorance."

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.
