BREAKTHROUGH? SINGLE DOSE OF COMMON AGRICULTURAL DRUG FOUND TO “ESSENTIALLY ELIMINATE ALL VIRAL MATERIAL” OF COVID-19 WITHIN 48 HOURS

FDA-approved Ivermectin, a drug for livestock, found to be highly effective at treating coronavirus

A new study published in the journal Antiviral Research finds that Ivermectin, a common agricultural drug used as a de-wormer for cats, dogs, horses and livestock — achieves a 5000-fold reduction in replication of the SARS-cov-2 “Wuhan” coronavirus.

Ivermectin is sold at agricultural supply stores and online retailers such as Amazon.com. It’s normally sold as an edible paste or a sterile solution for injection into cattle and other livestock. The drug is FDA-approved for certain treatments, although not yet FDA approved for treatment of COVID-19. We are not recommending it for human consumption until more data are available.

The study, found here, is entitled, “The FDA-approved Drug Ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.”

We have used it for decades as a heart worm preventative on our dogs. We use a sterile solution and administer it orally. Although we have used it in lower doses and injected it just under the skin. I have had 2 large dogs live 14 to 16 years.
