NEW DELHI: Ivermectin an approved drug of choice in certain parasitic and roundworm diseases has been found to be an effective prophylaxis for COVID 19 as per the a study report by AIIMS, Bhubaneswar. in medRxiv. The study has been published in medRXiv.
Ivermectin is one of the many drugs under-study for COVID 19. Now recent research undertaken by the doctors at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar (AIIMS Bhubaneswar) has reported a 73% decline in the incidences of COVID-19 cases in healthcare workers who participated in the study.
With the raging case of COVID 19 in healthcare workers in AIIMS, Bhubaneswar as many as 20 to 25 cases per day in early September, the current study was conceived and implemented after reviewing the existing literature. The Involvement in the study was purely voluntary. It was a hospital-based matched case-control study with a total of 186 pairs, 77 in control, and 38 in the case group. Cases and controls were healthcare workers who tested positive and negative, respectively, for COVID-19 by RT-PCR. The study took place from September to October. profession gender age and date of the test were matched to avoid errors and selection bias in the study.
Exposure was defined as the intake of ivermectin and/or hydroxychloroquine and/or vitamin-C and/or other prophylaxis for COVID-19. Data collection and entry was done in Epicollect5, and analysis was performed using STATA version 13. Conditional logistic regression models were used to describe the associated factors for COVID-19 infection. Ivermectin prophylaxis was taken by 77 controls and 38 cases.
The authors found that Two-dose ivermectin prophylaxis was associated with 73% reduction of COVID-19 infection among healthcare workers for the following one month, those who were involved in physical activity for more than an hour/day were more likely to contract COVID-19 infection. Type of household, COVID duty, single-dose ivermectin prophylaxis, vitamin-C prophylaxis and hydroxychloroquine prophylaxis were not associated with COVID-19 infection.
The authors concluded that Two-dose ivermectin prophylaxis at a dose of 300 μg/kg with a gap of 72 hours was associated 73% reduction of COVID-19 infection among healthcare workers for the following one-month The study is currently under pre-print is yet to be peer-reviewed.
This finding can be helpful in many cases where drugs like Hydroxychloroquine is contraindicated like certain cardiac conditions. For further details click on the following link :

Okay...you found additional articles suggesting the weekly dosing.
Thanks.
Quite confusing, isn’t it? Almost like they don’t want you to find the answer, too easily.

90% of people, even many with pre-existing conditions do not experience any symptoms after testing positive for covid-19. Most people being tested at this time are being tested because they are being coerced because of contact with someone known to have been positive not because they are sick. The huge increase in unneccessary testing is causing the increase in cases. This thing is a glorified cold and it is now cold and flu season.

What are HCWs?

It would seem to be a very cheap molecule, easy to produce, with significant anti-Covid therapeutic efficacy based on a number of early studies. Which I suppose would partially explain why our massive FedGov public health edifice hasn’t spent any time or money investigating its use.
There is a good bit of Ivermectin discussion in this thread from 3 days ago:

Including this interesting link to a US medical school using it in their Covid protocol:
Those kind of numbers could knock the Rt transmissibility numbers down to where Covid would disappear in a few months. Perhaps with no need for mass vaccinations.
Was in MFA yesterday and there were cases of it on display.
Just about everything is hard on the kidneys...
Yep that is true . Some of the worst culprits are found on the shelves of your grocery stores .
FYI....also saw this, regarding the Ivermectin preventative (and treatment) protocol....

“Those kind of numbers could knock the Rt transmissibility numbers down to where Covid would disappear in a few months. Perhaps with no need for mass vaccinations.”
That is an EXCELLENT observation!
MFA Incorporated is a Midwest-based regional farm supply and marketing cooperative serving more than 45,000 farmer/owners in Missouri and adjacent states. Our 106 company-owned MFA Agri Services Centers combined with 27 locally owned MFA affiliates with 24 branch locations contrast nicely with our approximately 400 independent dealers.
I could not figure out what the authors were saying there either. I find that the English language on the Indian subcontinent often gets really mangled. In their defense, I find that most American students and recent graduates have a hard time writing anything coherent and understandable.
Yes MFA is our local Farm store. We buy a lot there inc our animal feeds.
