re: Question about Ivermectin: Does it work as prevention against serious symptoms?

We have two physicians in the family who strongly believe that it is very effective in treating Covid early and after admission.They prescribe it to their patients, and they even take it themselves to prevent getting Covid. They aren't vaccinated and haven't gotten Covid despite lots of contact with Covid patients.

My friend, who posts on TD too, is in the hospital and was not doing well - consistently low 02 sats for days. The day he started the ivermectin (this past Thursday),he did a little better. The following day, he was remarkably better. He gets discharged today. It could be a coincidence, but he credits the Ivermectin.

There are favorable studies and protocols out there. Lots of physicians don't have a lot of time to look at the studiea.

Ivermectin is available in Baton Rouge pharmacies. I hear it's hard to find in the Lafayette area.

It's something that should be considered. It's a low risk medication, but do a conflict check with her other medications. If any of my family gets Covid, they will be started on Ivermectin immediately.
