..last year, the northern state of Uttar Pradesh began dispensing ivermectin liberally and encouraging people to take it early on and even preventively.

Do we have any information on how many people actually took ivermectin and at what dose/intervals?

“Do we have any information on how many people actually took ivermectin and at what dose/intervals?”

From what I read, they distributed it to literally every village, but only gave it out when someone got sick. But once that did happen, they would give it to all family members and close contacts. I suspect they also gave it to healthcare workers.

At that point, the virus was out of luck there.
