Ivermectin is FDA-approved for parasitic infections, and therefore has a potential for repurposing.
I have this in my refrigerator presently for my dogs. Also, Panacur-C which I bet will be found to be an effective cure too.

not sure if human trials have started yet
And, $1000 a dose.. too.. these drugs that have no history are the reason they are holding up Hydroxychloroquine with 50 years of safe use.
Try it on the sick tiger

Ivermectin is a medication used to treat many types of parasite infestations.[1] This includes head lice, scabies, river blindness (onchocerciasis), strongyloidiasis, trichuriasis, ascariasis, and lymphatic filariasis.[1][2][3][4] It can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin for external infestations.[1][5] Use in the eyes should be avoided.[1]
Common side effects include red eyes, dry skin, and burning skin.[1] It is unclear if it is safe for use during pregnancy, but is probably acceptable for use during breastfeeding.[6] It belongs to the avermectin family of medications.[1] It works by causing the parasite's cell membrane to increase in permeability, resulting in paralysis and death.[1]
Ivermectin was discovered in 1975 and came into medical use in 1981.[7][8] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system.[9] The wholesale cost in the developing world for the tablets is about US$0.12 for a course of treatment.[10] In the United States, the costs is less than US$50.[11][12] In other animals it is used to prevent and treat heartworm among other diseases.[3
Huh.
My vet has used a form of Ivermectin on my pigeons - it’s a drug that has been around for a long time. (And it did NOT cost ‘1K a dose’.)
In addition to aquarium cleaner, we also have dog heart worm pills.
I wonder if we mixed them together and....

Ivermectin (Oral Route)
(Proper Use) Dosage
"Ivermectin is best taken as a single dose with a full glass (8 ounces) of water on an empty stomach (1 hour before breakfast), unless otherwise directed by your doctor."
I will ask my horses if they mind if I take their dose this quater.
I absolutely will take my doggies dose before I die of coronavirus.
yep, I think so, but check the fine print
your cows might be getting a huge dose
I’m pretty sure it is what we used for our cats years ago. The price at that time was relatively high because you paid for an equivalent amount, or so, which was sent to Africa to combat river blindness.
It is horse wormer and is also used by humans for rosacea(sp)rash.
