Thanks....so they take two does, over 72 hours....then, when are the next doses?
I’ll have to re-read, or look for another write up with the info.
I re-read it looking for exactly that answer, but I don’t see it. It’s such an obvious question. I’m always surprised when “professionals” don’t provide answers to obvious questions.
They report the prophylaxis effect in terms of overall reduction over a one month period. But there is a half-life in the body and effectiveness has to decline. Do you need to dose weekly? Bi-weekly? Monthly?
@DrSamGirgis commented at the site: “Ivermectin. Once weekly dosing. Well tolerated. Replicated in several studies.”
Dr. Paul Marik’s COVID protocol at EVMS:
• Ivermectin for pre- and postexposure prophylaxis (see ClinTrials.gov NCT04422561 & NCT04425850). 200 ug/kg immediately then repeat in 72 hours.
• Ivermectin for prophylaxis in high risk individuals. 150-200 ug/kg (or 12 mg) ivermectin weekly.
The Indian study recommends 300 ug/kg, 50% higher than Marik. At least Marik says continue dosing weekly for high-risk individuals (HCWs, elderly, comorbidities, etc)
