Ivermectin is an antiparasitic, but it also has well-known antiviral properties too [1] [2]. Chose a study that did not relate to C19 since I think we all hate HIV/AIDS, Dengue Fever, and what was once a scourge in Yellow Fever.
As with any other drug, it is important to consider Ivermectin toxicity [3]. That would be my primary concern for the general population taking veterinary sized doses intended for large animals. I would never do that - I would talk to a doctor, preferably an infectious disease doc that has experience treating this malady, and get a prescription for it, and follow dosing instructions.
