I use it all the time, have done for the last 20 years on livestock. It comes with a warning hazardous to humans handle with care. Very effective with certain species of ticks and stomach worms.

Anyone hear of this drug and how its helping covid patients all over the world. Our government decides to ban it and criminally prosecute anyone who tries to import it. Why would they do this when its actually helping people big time and costs like R2 per tablet. Crazy

Please check your facts before posting things no one has banned Ivermectim it is an antiparisitic used to inject into livestock and freely available all over the country (trade name Ivermax in SA) you buy the stuff in litre bottles at any farm store and many vets. I know many people who are using it I for one don't because I cannot find reliable peer reviewed science journals backing up the claims on it and there is no long term scientific study done on side effects for long term human use. Lastly I have no degree in virology but what I do know from basic bilogy from school is that parasites and viruses are completely different and I don't see how an antiparisitic treats a viral infection.

The reason for its efficacy (in animals) is that it is not just an antiviral and antiparasitic but also has anti-inflammatory properties...

The caution in human use though is understandable as there are sure to be side effects for long term usage.

I have heard that you use only 1ml of Ivermax per 50kg of body weight. So most people should use 2ml or less per dosage.

I watched a video interview between a radio station and a Dr at 4ways life and according to what is stated in that interview from the Dr mouth, they are in talks with WHO and the drug could possibly be un-banned for HUMAN use in SA by month end.

It is also a tablet for human consumption

Just remember that everything you hear in the media is exaggerated to a ridiculous degree. If the media is saying it is a miracle cure, then in reality it is probably just useful in some select cases.

Incorrect dosage leads to permanent damage of the nervous system believe me I have seen it. So I wouldn't advise taking it unless prescribed by a genuine doctor. Many of these miracle cures are social media hype, why not try rubbing hyena shit behind your ears if you're open to anything suggested on social media?

I have checked my facts.

I have also imported a lot from India which was stopped at customs and thrown away.

I also personally know 4 people who have been helped by Ivermectin. A friend who was on a ventilator for 6 days came off the very next day after taking 1 x 3mg tablet. If you may die anyway, whats the harm?
