HCQ is easier to dose for people, take x amount a day.
IVM is trickier to dose, by body weight (I think) and the prescribed dose changes over time until you are done.
Both have a degree of effectiveness that is different for different people, HCQ is effective only during the replication phase, and not for everyone, but IMV can help in the viral replication phase and beyond due to some anti-inflammatory effects it possesses.
Only issue I had, my insurance wouldn't pay their share of the HCQ because the Feds didn't authorize it for treatment of COVID. Not a problem as it is cheap. My monthly cost without insurance was only $35.00. I only needed one month but have another script on hand. My doc friend told me if I ever have symptoms again take it HCQ immediately with Zinc. He mentioned HCQ is the "bullet". Zinc is the "gun" that gets it to the right place.
It is criminal that the Feds put our entire population at great risk because of the $$$. Everyone that was part of this conspiracy should be charged with crimes against humanity. Unfortunately, the crime family in DC will not charge themselves.
Hcq is used for its anti-inflammatory impact for RA. I know that
