Doctors should start prescribing it so people wouldn't have to do this.

If some people and doctors didn’t act like the actual medicine in pill form was going to kill you and prescribed it like we have for years people wouldn’t be taking wrong alternatives.

I’ve seen plenty of people in MS that look like they identify as a cow.

Doctors cannot prescribe a medicine for treatment of an illness that has zero research behind the effectiveness of the med for that purpose.

According to the article, it’s over 1,000 calls


So 700 calls for Ivermectin?

That’s pure bullshite.

It sounds like some people are pushing a narrative. I mean, someone calls up, says they took Ivermectin and feel bad. Yes, this didn’t happen in the #’s alleged.

From a credible source but still hearsay, doctors are prescribing Ivermectin in Lake Charles.

Crazy how that went out the window back when I lived in Cali and got a script for weed before it was legalized. The Dr didn't even ask me shite and it was over a 5-minute teleconference appointment. An hour later I had edibles delivered to my door from a local shop that had no way of knowing 100% how much THC was in each portion.

Everyone I know did the same thing but yet we draw the line at a medicine that hasn't had any signifcant severe reactions in decades of use and whose manufacturing process for human use is tightly controlled.

I know someone who bought some in case they get sick (they are anti-vax)

It beggars belief how people are willing to take livestock medicine but not a human vaccine

It beggars belief that you people ignore the true origins of Ivermectin and the fact that is a WHO essential medicine. You have whole areas of the world that can only exist thanks to the use of Ivermectin but keep pushing your moronic narrative

Totally false. Many medicines are repurposed

“At least 70% of the recent calls have been related to ingestion of livestock or animal formulations of ivermectin purchased at livestock supply centers. 85% of the callers had mild symptoms, but one individual was instructed to seek further evaluation due to the amount of ivermectin reportedly ingested.”

Sounds like a better outcome than covid

The NIH approved it iirc.

Of course that was after they “couldn’t find patients to test it” (DURING a pandemic no less), looked only at Ivermectin (not as a cocktail), and “studied” its effect on nearly dead people...which (surprise) didn’t work.

Only someone that is incredibly disingenuous would look at their initial response as anything other than a hatchet job.

I don’t “know” that it works, but given how safe it is, and the accounts of its effectiveness elsewhere, there is absolutely no reason that I can fathom for it not to be prescribed as part of ambulatory care.
