Well, they should not be taken by humans in any dose to try and treat respiratory problems. If your doctor gives you a prescription of ivermectin to treat some worm problems, knock yourself out, but there's nothing wrong a simple general message "do not take ivermectin just because you thing you want it" - it's a prescription drug, so use only if explicitly, personally advised by a doctor who has looked into your particular problem and decided that this is the right thing for it.
- beaner 5y agoI agree. People are doing the wrong thing by taking horse-sized doses, and should be careful with drugs that are not prescribed to them. The way you're phrasing things would be a much more understandable message that would not push people further away. The question of whether or not to take things not prescribed to you is another question I suppose. LSD is an illegal drug but helps a lot of people. Ivermectin is widely, widely used and safely at that. Not being prescribed is not the same as being dangerous, so when it comes to self-medication my personal belief is that it is acceptable to work outside those boundaries, so long as you're being knowledgable and safe about it. (Which a lot of people are not doing in this case.)
