Anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin destroys Covid-19 infection in less than 48 hours: Australian Study
Business Line ^ | 12/02/2020 | Prashasti Awasthi

Though the researchers didn’t say how Ivermectin was able to destroy Covid-19, they believe it inhibits Covid-19 replication.

Australian scientists have found that an antiviral drug called ‘Ivermectin’ was able to kill coronavirus grown in cell cultures in less than 48 hours.

Ivermectin is a medication used to treat many types of parasite infestations.

This study comes as researchers and scientists are scouring drugs that can be repurposed or used to treat the novel coronavirus.

The study, published in the journal - Antiviral Research, stated that Ivermectin was able to kill the virus in less than two days.

The study further said that the anti-parasitic drug significantly reduced the viral load in 24 hours.

Ivermectin is an approved anti-parasitic drug known to be effective against a variety of viruses like HIV, influenza, dengue, and Zika.

The researchers cautioned that more testing needs to be done to be sure of the drug’s efficacy against Covid-19.

Even though the drug is considered largely safe, the scientists at the Monash University in Australia who conducted the study, are yet to ascertain the correct dosage and effects to understand its efficacy against SARS-CoV-2.

The researchers believe that instead of finding new ways to treat the infection, scientists should focus on tweaking the existing treatment in order to prevent the infection.

The researchers, however, did not say how Ivermectin was able to destroy Covid-19, but they believe that the drug inhibits Covid-19 replication.

“The researchers believe that instead of finding new ways to treat the infection, scientists should focus on tweaking the existing treatment in order to prevent the infection. “

There is no need for a single solution.

Hitting it up with multiple non-interacting treatments sounds good to me.

IANAD, but I can do basic math.

1/10 of one of the apple-flavored tubes is 11.1 mg. EVMS recommends 12 mg for a prophylactic dose for a 150# person. Close enough. Dosages seem to be pretty flexible from other stuff I’ve read. I’d go 15 or 20 mg in a minute.

My two cents:
I tested positive and was sick with flue like symptoms.
Dr. gave me Ivermectin, Dexamethasone, Cefdinir and Colcrys.
Two days later felt fine just weak, thought I was over it.
One week later covid came back with a vengeance, never had so much pain in my 68 years, I wanted to die!
Today, three weeks later no pain just very tired with foggy brain.

Are you doing the 2 doses/72 hours apart once a month treatment like they are doing with healthcare workers in India? And are you mixing it into something?

VACCINES will be required if you want to fly, stay at a hotel, go to DisneyWorld, Six Flags, concerts, etc..

That's interesting as all of those things are exactly what I don't do.

Was the ivermectin a one-time dose or continuing dosage?

Bless her heart. Did you ask her what dosage she took?

I bought her 300 mg capsules and Zinc w copper from Whole Foods (at the time sold out everywhere else). Had her take 2 Q caps, and zinc 30 minutes later. Also had her take Bromelain with the Quercetin and it greatly helped her arthritis.
