About ivermectin

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/why-all-fuss-about-ivermectin

As a physician, I am certainly aware of ivermectin but don’t recall ever writing a prescription for it in my 30+ years’ medical career. Ivermectin is an anthelmintic, meaning it cures parasitic infections. In my world of ophthalmology, it is used on occasion for rare parasitic or worm infections in the eye.

Ivermectin was FDA approved in 1998 under the brand name Stromectol, produced by pharmaceutical giant Merck, approved for several parasitic infections. The product label described it as having a “unique mode of action,” which “leads to an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions.” This suggests that ivermectin acts as an ionophore, making cell membranes permeable to ions that enter the cell for therapeutic effect.

Ivermectin is one of several ionophores, others including hydroxychloroquine, quercetin, and resveratrol, the latter two available over the counter. These ionophores simply open a cellular door, allowing zinc to enter the cell, where it then interferes with viral replication, providing potential therapeutic benefit in viral and other infections.

This scientific paper reviews and references other studies demonstrating antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer properties of ivermectin. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7251046/

This explains the interest in this drug as having potential use in treating COVID.

>23 minutes ago (Edited) The normal COVID dosage is 12mg per day for 5 days. The 1.86% paste has 6.03 grams of paste. At 1.86% Ivermectin; you get a total of 112 mg (6030 * 0.0186 = 112mg) in each tube (check the tube size). Therefore, in a standard tube you get 112mg divided by 12 g per day = 9.3 doses per tube. source: A five-day course of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 may reduce the duration of illness https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33278625/
