It was through a study led by Monash University in partnership with the Doherty Institute of Infection and Immunity, both in Australia, that doctor Lucy Kerr, a native of Piracicaba and who lived for five years in Rio Claro, opted for the use of the medication Ivermectin in patients with Covid-19. The scientists noted that a single dose of the drug was able to fight SARS-CoV-2 by halving it in 24 hours and eliminating it in 48 hours.
“After reading this study, I attended a sequence of 20 patients with Covid-19 and all of them managed to treat and cure in 48 hours as recommended, using weight-adjusted Ivermectin, with the recommended dose, although four more serious cases required a second dose, ”the doctor told the Jornal Cidade report.
Lucy said that at first she was amazed by the effectiveness, but then she wanted to share the experience: “I command a group of 570 doctors between WhatsApp and Telegram and put everything that happened for them. It was then that the group started to do the same and everyone had the same positive experience. Some then started using Ivermectin prophylactically because they had to treat patients with Covid-19 on the front lines and obviously did not want to acquire the disease. And nobody got it ”.
The doctor analyzes that, although this is an observational study, it has great value for the results obtained: “I have already heard of a group in Peru that treated more than 700 patients with Covid-19 with the drug and the results were spectacular. Including patients who were in the ICU with a barbaric reduction in mortality. More recently I learned of a study in the Dominican Republic where doctors in the region were able to discharge more than 500 patients in a very short time also using the drug ”.
In view of the experience, Dr. Lucy Kerr makes a point of warning about two points that are fundamental for her: “One very important thing to be reported is that the dose on the package insert is not the dose that treats the coronavirus. Whoever wants to be treated has to seek a doctor who knows this treatment and uses the correct dose, otherwise it will not work. Everything has to be very controlled by the health professional who has to analyze the patient's symptoms, weight and a series of other issues. I want to emphasize very well that it is not for anyone to self-medicate ”.
Asked about the future of the pandemic, the doctor is straightforward: “Covid has a cure and we can solve this disease in a very short time by doing a large-scale task force treatment in the population considering that the side effects of Ivermectin are very low. In my opinion, it is a drug that deserves to be further studied and valued, as it has a broken patent, nobody will make money from it, it has a low cost and has been on the market since 1987. Health cannot be political ”, she concludes.
This is HUGE news !
Esp since it worked in different countries !
No regional dependencies means that anyone should be able to try this treatment !
The hardest hit countries should trial the critical cases with this drug ! It may save lives !
Oh GOD, i really hope it works !
This is promising news for developing countries. Something like remdesivir isn’t really practical to administer on a wide scale in many parts of the world. Ivermectin is dirt cheap and widely available
Some notes: distribution method is important. Doxycycline in combination with ivermectin seems to work similarly or maybe faster. Both drugs have been given to millions of people for other uses.
Texted this to the doctors I know on Monday. They said they’re watching it very closely.
I would suggest looking I to the Dr. In FL using it on patients (his wife is a Vet who actually brought it up to him, making good progress). Last I saw he reported 100% success rate of patients diagnosed early before ARDS/Cytokine Storm (no treatment for that yet). Ivermectin is extremely safe even in doses far above therapeutic levels and zero side effects reported.
Also been going Strong in Florida for a while now,supposedly 100% success rate. Just don't expect it to work in late stage cases.
I appreciate they stressed the need for doctor managed dosing based on specific factors. Otherwise you know people will be trying to self-medicate. (They probably will try anyway.)
It's already been tested for that. It's extremely safe, no side effects and has a massive LD50, there's virtually zero risk.
Much safer than HCQ tbh.
Successful treatment using a super cheap generic = good news
propaganda*
Drug propadanda
For who? which company? it's a generic prescription drug
