they're toxic at normal doses

  What do you mean by that? If you take them too long/too many doses in a given year? I always thought they were reasonably safe.

    well I mean diabetes patients have to take metformin and it of course prolongs their life but it also subjects them to potential lactic acidosis, because it's toxic. Medicine is taking the lesser of two poisons because you literally don't have a choice in the matter. It can be way better than it is but we have such awful perverse incentives and lack of responsibility rampant in the field.

      Sure, it's the risk of taking the drug vs the risk of not taking the drug. What about Fluvoxamine and Ivermectin though?
