Do you actually know how ivormectton works? It's Monday, so you know it's time for drug of the day where each Monday I review a medication. Though Ivormectin not be able to help with co or haunt virus, it does actually have some clinically evidence-based uses. Ivormectin is an antiparasitic medication and so it's FDA approved for infections that are caused by parasites. So like river blindness and then I always butcher this. It's stronglyis something like that. It also can be used topically for lys and rosaceia. The oral dosing for ivormectin is usually weight- based and it's honestly like one or two doses and then topically it's just a cream that you apply to your skin. Let's go through how ivormectin actually works that people don't talk about online. So ivormectin binds to glutamate gated chloride channels which these are found in parasites and mit. So what this does it'll flood their nervous system with chloride ions that pretty much paralyzes them and kills them. So this is why this can actually help in some rosacea patients because rosacea is sometimes linked to microscopic demodex mites that are living on our skin. The ivormectum will actually help to reduce the mites and inflammation. But here's the problem and this is the reason why some people need to go back to high school biology is that COVID haunt and all these viruses do not have these channels. These viruses are not parasites and they replicate inside human cells. So the actual mechanism of action of ivormectin does not apply to any of this. If you actually look at the doses that were used in the study for these like petri dishes, if we ever used them in a human, good luck waking them up. Now, with common side effects like nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, fatigue, but with taking high doses, this could literally lead to like seizures, low blood pressure, and pretty much just being in a coma.
