KolleenWhiteStone - are you all taking Ivermectin as a preventative or did you take it for C19 symptoms? I'm having a hard time finding information on taking it preventatively (dosage, precautions, etc.) I just got my Ivermectin from All Day Chemist out of India. The 12mg pills are for up to 150 lb body weight - so giving 1 and cutting 1 in half for hubby. He had it in April and hasn't gotten strength back. From what I saw it's once a day after a meal for 5 days, I'll link the site I found. (Oh I did give him horse paste when he had it, but he never whinneyed . LOL) posts 17 & 18 on TB2000 https://www.timebomb2000.com/xf/index.php?threads/ivermectin-dosage-frequency.606765/ Kolleen and I have not started our dosage, No Fear Just Faith, but during our press to get it in hand I had read or heard (from somewhere or someone?!) that the prophylactic dose should be the same as the symptoms dose. My best guess is it was a druggist but not sure. The prescription reads "Take [N] tablets by mouth on day 1 and day 3. Then [N] tablets as a single dose weekly." I presume that means days 8, 15, and 22 since we each got 5[N] prescribed. One refill was stipulated sometime within a year. My [N] is proportionately larger than Kolleen's by weight. And I'm not revealing N. :stinkerbell: To me if one continues to take it at the rate of [N] per week, 5[N] count refills should provide for 35 days more, i.e., after the first 28 days are covered. About two months... That may be the most windy, indirect but comprehensive I-don't-exactly-know answer to a question you've asked than you ever before received. :unsure: Sorry. :yes: I wonder where such answers are authoritatively found. :mail: NoFearjustFaith, Dan is right that we were told you take the same amount taken as when you / anyone, were diagnosed with covid symptoms, if you were able to have it prescribed. Our nurses here are certainly welcome to straighten this out if incorrect. :rose: This is one of the sites that offers the protocol for ivermectin that is used....the recent protocols have recommended an increase in the milligrams per kilogram and a few longer days secondary to bigger spikes in numbers- My husband and I are currently taking the prophylactic dose since I work at the hospital and at this time he has not had a virus in a while or in particular this one, no side effects or issues with it. https://covid19criticalcare.com/covid-19-protocols/i-mask-plus-protocol/
