Re: Ivermectin for Coronavirus Treatment?
seems the science has changed (I again)
Ivermectin is not shown to be effective against Covid-19 in clinical trials according to the findings of a joint University of Oxford and Mahidol University study.
Ivermectin is not shown to be effective against Covid-19 in clinical trials according to the findings of a joint University of Oxford and Mahidol University study.
https://www.thaienquirer.com/48271/iver ... udy-shows/The study that was published on the peer-reviewed eLife medical journal found that high doses of the drug ivermectin, controversially recommended by some high-profile political and media figures during the pandemic, is ineffective at treating the virus.
Conducted at the Center for Tropical Diseases in Bangkok, the study is part of the ongoing PLATCOV trial the study hoped to assess the antiviral effectiveness of medicines in treating early symptomatic Covid-19 infections.
The findings support claims that the drug has little antiviral activity against the virus.
“Our study shows there is no support for the continued use of ivermectin in treating Covid-19,” said senior author and PLATCOV co-PI Prof Sir Nicholas White who is a Professor of Tropical Medicine at the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU) at Mahidol University and the Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health (CTMGH) at the Nuffield Department of Medicine in the University of Oxford, UK.
“Even now, three years after the start of the pandemic, it remains uncertain whether any of the proposed repurposed antiviral treatments are effective at fighting Covid-19, highlighting the limitations of the tools currently used to assess these drugs,” co-lead author Dr William Schilling, a Research Physician at MORU and CTMGH.

Not sure how anything has changed. I don’t believe that it was ever proven, scientifically, that it was effective.

It's apparently good for things like tapeworm though, so if nothing else comes from it at least the horse-paste crowd won't be constantly scratching their bums anymore.
