Way overdosed

12 mg is the ideal dose for a standard adult. I may be tired but I think your dosing converts to 20 mg.

The proper dose is 12 mg/day x 5 days

Paul Marik, MD recommends 150-200mcg/kg (or 12 mg) for 2 days in a row as treatment for an active case.

For a person weighing 176 lb (80 kg), 150mcg/kg would be 12mg, and 200mcg/kg would be 16mg.

12 mg doses are often cited for simplicity, I think because the pills come as 3mg.

I have seen much higher single doses used (600mcg/kg). And I have seen it used for 5 days in a row.

There is a lot of variety in dosing, but 12mg seems to be plenty, while adding more seems safe. Ivermectin appears to have a very high safety profile.
