- cbg0 5y agoIt's actually not, as it can induce temporary blindness if you overdose on it.
- s-lambert 5y agoBut overdose is a relative term, is it actually easy to overdose on ivermectin? Depending on the drug and how much a typical dosage is, overdosing could be a simple mistake like taking a second pill or be a ludicrous amount like eating hundreds of pills.
- jacquesm 5y agoThe people who are actively promoting this stuff are exactly the people who would be at risk of overdosing on it. Because it doesn't help. So they'll take more.
- ufo 5y agoIt's easy to overdose. A typical use of ivermectin for antiparasitic effect is a one-time dose with a single pill. But for so-called covid prevention, people have been taking higher doses for a prolonged period of time. There have been reported cases of people who had to get a liver transplant due to ivermectin misuse.
- rscho 5y agoAbsolutely not. Ivermectin, like other antiparasitic drugs has a wealth of metabolic side effects making uncontrolled administration quite dangerous.
- fcurts 5y agoPeople betting on Ivermectin instead of vaccines, masking, social distancing, and proven treatments is extremely dangerous.
