The reason why this is farther out from being used compared to hydroxychloroquine, is that Ivermectin isn't approved for use in humans for anything yet.
At least the hydroxychloroquine it's already approved for use with dosage rates etc for other uses in humans, so the FDA isn't such a barrier.
I hope if it is in fact viable to treat humans that it can somehow get out into use ASAP, along with anything else that works.

Uh, it's already on the WHO list of essential meds and has been used in humans as far back as 1988.

The FDA approves it for strongyloidiasis of the intestinal tract and for onchocerciasis in humans. (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugs...742s022lbl.pdf)

Don't tell anyone this is what's in dog dewormer, they'll rush out and overdose on it.

I have taken this before to rule out a parasitic infection.

1988 isn't that far back, hush! That's a positive it's used on humans already. I guess I just was used to using it on animals so much I just associated it with vet care only. Hopefully something will happen with it faster than hydroxychloroquine, which really hasn't moved as fast as it could have to help treat people on large scale. Maybe Cuomo and the govs of NV can ban Ivermectin also now.

Don't get your hopes up too much. The term "in vitro" means cells outside their normal environment, aka in a dish.



We know bleach kills the virus "in vitro". The challenge is to find something that does not also kill the host.

Guess my dogs and sheep will be safe...

The whole "in-vitro" thing is obviously a catch.

A gallon of bleach will probably kill the covid virus. Gasoline might too for all we know. I'm definitely not going to be the guinea pig on those tests!

Strange, according to my sources it is already FDA approved for strongyloidiasis, onchocerciasis, scabies (crusted and non-crusted), as well as pediculosis capitis/corporis/pubis.

Thanks but a little late to the party if you read the whole thread already been discussed.
