Lucknow’s district administration will set up around 40 kiosks across the city to ensure free distribution of Ivermectin tablets among asymptomatic Covid-19 patients. A few of these kiosks will become operational from Monday, officials said.
Ivermectin, a deworming drug, can be used as a supporting medicine for Covid-19 patients under home isolation and their contacts, according to doctors.
Officials said the kiosks would come up at the airport, city bus stations, railway stations, etc.
Additional district magistrate KP Singh said, “The use of the Ivermectin tablet has proved effective for asymptomatic Covid-19 patients. It is also being widely prescribed by government doctors. Hence, the administration, in collaboration with the health department, is setting up kiosks across the city to ensure its free distribution.”
Officials said the project would be implemented in phases.
“Initially, all the entry and exit points of the city would be covered. It would largely include all four bus stations, railway stations, the airport and the highway entries and exits,” an official said. Experts would ensure distribution of tablets among the people at all these points, he said.
The tablets would be given on the basis of the symptoms or if anyone has come in contact with a Covid-19 patient.
On Wednesday, chief medical officer (Lucknow) Dr RP Singh issued a circular, advising people to take Ivermectin tablet, as per their body weight and age, if they test positive and are under home isolation.
Doctors said the medicine was found effective against the virus in a lab in-vitro study.
“In Australia, researchers claimed the viral load went down 5,000 times in 48 hours with this medicine taken in combination. Also, a Bangladesh scientist claimed a similar effect. At present, research on this medicine is going on at 28 places,” said Dr Kauser Usman of King George’s Medical University.
“It is not a treatment for Covid-19, but yes, as a supporting medicine, its role has been identified to boost immunity. It can be taken under a doctor’s guidance for a proper dosage,” said Dr PK Gupta, former president of the Indian Medical Association, Lucknow.

People may be getting tired of seeing it, but here’s my text block on Ivermectin; India content:
IANAD or public health professional, but my understanding is that technically, the vaccines are not “approved”, but rather have “emergency use authorizations.” These EUAs could only be granted if there were no available effective therapeutics. So the FedGov public health establishment had to refuse to recognize the efficacy of HCQ and Ivermectin-based therapies in order to be able to grant those EUAs. By doing this, they greatly increased the death and suffering due to Covid.
If we had a public health edifice that was worth anything, front line health care workers and public-facing store employees would be on Covid prophylaxis. The Federal public health agencies (FDA/NIH/CDC) have seemingly completely ignored cheap effective re-purposed therapeutics that could have significantly reduced deaths and transmission.

Key protocols from this group use Ivermectin.

Ditto this group.
India has been using HCQ and Ivermectin for many months as therapeutics and for prophylaxis. Their curves are quite impressive, scroll down to see them here.

Anyone able to interpret a basic graph will be impressed. Why is this not being talked about in Western media?
Also from India:
Ziverdo Kit Contains Zinc Acetate 50 mg, Doxycycline 100 mg & Ivermectin 12 mg Dispersible Tablets. It is currently indicated in the first line treatment for COVID-19 positive patients. Quadruple Therapy with Ivermectin is effective in treating COVID-19

That’s a link to an Indian online pharmacy selling that Covid treatment kit for under $2, just add vitamin D3.
Also, the meta-study link has links to a number of other studies. Here’s the one for HCQ.

I continue to think the FedGov’s handling of these therapeutics criminal.
They’re definitely using Ivermectin + zinc; see the pharmacy link in my previous post. HCQ + zinc seems likely.

Do continue to post this. It is informational and people who visit this thread might be helped if they missed previous threads in Ivermectin.
Bttt
America, a third-world Mitthole with rigged "elections" and garbage medical science...
I saw something earlier today that lead me to believe Ivermectin had US govt. approval. Decided to check and found the link below. Not yet but they are looking at it. Checked drug costs, and found you can get 8 tablets for under $13 in Target and others.

I can have Ivermectin snack time with our goats.
You have to shop around. Prices vary greatly.
The other thing I saw was if you are using a goodrx coupon don’t assume it will be that price on the day you go. I saw a big jump in difference one day to the next at Walmart.
Even a prescription filled with my insurance card varies from pharmacy to pharmacy
A doctor told me he recommends HCQ first because ivermectin can cause liver issues.
“...In Australia, researchers claimed the viral load went down 5,000 times in 48 hours with this medicine taken in combination...”

Jeez, I hate the piss poor writing “journalists” engage in now. I think this means the viral load measurement was 99.98% reduced... but who knows for sure what they mean.
Ping to India Ivermectin plan in Lucknow
Well, the US and other Western countries have FAR MORE MONEY available for treatment of the virus, so we don’t need to bother with Ivermectin.
Ivermectin works. I took it last month when virus symptoms first appeared.
After 24 hours, I was a new man.
The vaccine villains are determined to push a false panacea. Why ?
They’re giving it away? How enlightened are they! If Fauci had a say in it, he would tell them to bathe in the Ganges and don’t forget to put a pantyhose over that mandatory mask.
Its no coincidence. India fell in love with the Donald. And now India will assist Americans to save their own lives.
Thanks be to the Donald and his relationship with India.

Since when is it a conservative value to waste money on expensive Western medicine when long usage low cost off-patent medicines could probably do the job better as well as cheaper? In fact even cheaper vitamins, minerals and other supplements might be able to do the job even better. Perhaps we could even afford Medicare for all using that approach, or is it a conservative value to subsidize rich Big Pharma executives rather than save the medical and insurance dollars of the mass of lower income people which includes a lot of President Trump’s base?
