Is There Anyone Using Invermectin As A Self-medicating Tool Against Covid-19?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Hoedspruit, Limpopo

Anyone on Methotrexate especially? Farmers in South Africa has start using the animal counterpart ecomectin with human dosages and regelated through their house doctors and the results are enormous....it’s a prevention medication more then a cure. I just want to hear the opinions of people on here.

Invermectin is used for oral parasites,worms, mites and fleas that are more common in South Africa
Has lot's of side effects in humans and should be avoided when on certain meds
Apparently their is some trials for use in Covid 19

Yes, there have been concerns about people self-medicating with ivermectin intended for animals, thinking it can be a substitute for ivermectin intended for humans. The FDA has warned against this practice due to potential health risks. Always consult a healthcare provider before taking any medication.

@A myRAteam Member Methotrexate has a lot of side effects especially when you just start up...It’s almost a year now and still have bad days when I take them...but much less side effects. Happy about that. Hope you get something that works for you...
