There’s no such thing. Seriously, be careful what you put in your body. We’re all different and what might seem benign to one person could be problematic, or even fatal, for another.

So the doctors just refuse to write the order. So what changes? Big pharma just leans in the doctor and says no.

Throw me some cash and I'll write it. IDGAF. Maybe I need to start a telehealth IVM clinic. F#$k doing real medicine. I'm all for it, might as well get paid!

I’m not very interested in getting on something prescribed by my pcp just so he can get a huge payout from Blue Cross for hitting his numbers.

Actually doctors can make more by doing less for you. People are dumbasses. Huge payoff from Blue Cross for him to spend their money? Sorry, it's the opposite. Your doctor doing less than you need to hit his/her "value" metrics. Go to the vet instead.

t is safe But why would you take a medicine to cure something you dont have? Thats what delusional people do


Just because you buy it doesn’t mean you have to use it.

Why would anyone buy a generator or a case of shotgun shells?

I never heard of a human taking this crap before the antivax tripe kicked in. It was for worming animals.



No. It is widely used in 3rd world where people actually get parasites.

But thats rare here.

Apparently people with livestock have been worming themselves with it forever. They just started mentioning it during COVID.

Why are you fighting so desperately to gaslight others who may want to have some on hand, just in case they need it?

Need it for what?

Do you keep a supply of other antibiotics on hand?

Regular Use of Ivermectin as Prophylaxis: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9525042/

Conclusion
quote:


Non-use of ivermectin was associated with a 12.5-fold increase in mortality rate and a seven-fold increased risk of dying from COVID-19 compared to the regular use of ivermectin. This dose-response efficacy reinforces the prophylactic effects of ivermectin against COVID-19.


Ivermectin: A Multifaceted Drug With a Potential Beyond Anti-parasitic Therapy: https://www.cureus.com/articles/223832-ivermectin-a-multifaceted-drug-with-a-potential-beyond-anti-parasitic-therapy#!/

quote:

Ivermectin is now recognized as a multifaceted therapeutic with diverse potential beyond its established antiparasitic role. Although its established efficacy in combating various parasitic infections in humans and animals remains important, its therapeutic uses extend beyond. The anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of ivermectin are promising for managing inflammatory skin conditions and potentially autoimmune diseases. Its promising antiviral activity against viruses such as COVID-19 and adenoviruses, although it requires further rigorous clinical validation, presents exciting possibilities. Moreover, emerging research unveils its potential as an anticancer agent, demonstrating antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects in diverse cancer cell lines.

It’s OTC in Louisiana. You don’t need a doctor. They changed it June 30.


read the fine print, you have to go to the pharmacist with a doctor order (not a prescription)
