Prescriptions for Ivermectin - a deworming drug - surged to 24 times their pre-pandemic levels as people baselessly take it as a COVID-19 cure

* Prescriptions for ivermectin jumped 24-fold in August compared to pre-pandemic levels, the CDC said.

* The drug has been promoted as a cure and treatment for COVID-19, in spite of lack of evidence.

* It's not been approved as a COVID-19 treatment and can be dangerous if not used appropriately.


The number of prescriptions of ivermectin, a deworming drug that has been baselessly touted as a COVID-19 cure, spiked more than 24 times in August compared to pre-pandemic levels, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Ivermectin has been approved for use in humans as an anti-parasitic, but not as a COVID-19 remedy.

More than 88,000 prescriptions for the drug were filled out by pharmacies in the week ending August 13, the CDC said in a report published August 26.

That's about 24 times more than the weekly average number of ivermectin prescriptions filled out in the year before March 13, 2020, when COVID-19 was declared a national emergency in the US, the CDC said.

While there is no data to conclusively support the use of ivermectin to reduce disease and death from COVID-19, high-profile figures including Sens. Ron Johnson and Rand Paul have promoted the drug as an answer to COVID-19.

Both the Food and Drug Administration and the CDC have issued advisories against the dangers of using the misusing ivermectin when using it as a drug against COVID-19.

Inappropriate use of the drug can lead to overdose, potentially causing hallucinations, seizures, coma, and death, the CDC said.

Some users of the drug have complained online about the dangerous effects, including blurry vision, diarrhea, and pooping out what they believed were "worms," as Insider's Andrea Michelson and Madison Hall reported. In July, ivermectin-related calls to poison control centers rose fivefold compared to pre-pandemic levels

The word has gotten out on ivermectin, and Big Pharma/ Big Tech and Big Brother are very upset about it.

“baseless” or “baselessly” are key cabal words...every media was using them to discredit the election fraud claims.

Thank you!

Yours is the first post that explains the dosage for each situation.

Even the Indian pharmacy i got mine from did not offer as clear an explanation.

Thought so. This is the rest of the big lie. No one is saying take ivermectin by itself as the news reports indicate.

RE: Japan has just announced they are using it for the Fauci/China virus.

You know, I keep reading about this in FR, but can’t seem to find the actual news for this.

I am only aware that the Chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association, Dr. Haruo Ozaki issued a plea for the expanded use of ivermectin to treat the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) in Japan. Whether the Japanese government agreed to act on his plea is another matter.

My brother ended up in bed with Covid 19. His friend in a third world country that runs a clinic sent him a bottle of Ivermectin (20 day supply). He was out of bed and fine in two days.

Her husband got it worse, but she gave him the ivermectin and he was fine in three days. She never got it because she takes ivermectin a couple of times a month as a preventative.

Anecdotal, of course, but when you can’t trust the various acronym organizations, you have to start trusting your own eyes.

Same link as my post right above the table.

Very diverse studies. There’s one doc that tried saving people already on a ventilator by giving them 186mg doses.(huge) Didn’t have very good luck. I haven’t checked a lot of them. Checked a few and only found one giving anything other than Ivermectin. Zinc iirc.

Don’t know if there are any that gave the full protocol of Ivermectin + Azythromycin/doxycyline + Zinc + Vitamin D (and C and A)

I forgot to mention, the bottles all have stamped on them, “for export only”.

Ivermectin can make you sick if you OD, but that’s it. It’s a very known quantity, unlike ANY of the vaccines.

Regarding this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ivermectin/comments/o01ipf/update_nurije_fype_recovering_well_after_taking/

Nurije Fype’s daughter has a Facebook group that started out as a prayer watch to monitor her mother’s condition but after she recovered due to Ivermectin, it has become a discussion group about all things Covid — from Ivermectin to vaccines to Monoclonals.

Nurije Fype’s daughter had to FIGHT and SUE for her mom’s hospital to administer Ivermectin when she was hospitalized. Luckily, she won the case when the judge ruled in her favor, and even more, she SURVIVED Covid and is now home.

How long that group will survive in Facebook, nobody knows. Once the FB censors discover what’s in it, they’ll have to find another social media like MeWe to host them.
