HEALTH Ivermectin Dosage Frequency

[SuperDutyDoug]

Hello,

Longtime lurker here. I am wondering about the dosage protocol for Ivermectin, specifically the dosage frequency. I've read the posts here and am aware of the recommendations from the FLCCC.

Here's my question - if the half life of Ivermectin is on the order of 18 hours, why would some advise full doses (18mg in my case) every week (or even every other week)? Wouldn't it make more sense to take a smaller dose perhaps twice a week?

Thanks for your thoughts/advise on this issue.

Might want to move this off main just to the subject matter.

Half life? Don't recall hearing that phrase in this context.

 

[Profit of Doom]

Half life depends on what tissue you are talking about.

 

[Terrwyn]

Do you hear my scream? The more I read the less I know about how many 6 mg pills to take at first symptoms.

Hello Super Duty Doug...

Why are you worried about the halflife?
Are you a fan of pharmacokinetics?
do you know the minimal effective plasma level is for ivermectin?

What lab or hosptial is going to measure your blood (plasma) drug levels.

Ivermectin is not like the drugs ( ie aminoglycosides ) that have a very narrow therapeutic index and require expensive plasma levels drawn to get the dose/ blood levels in the effective but not toxic range, sigh
...

the boys at FLCCC are chasing this virus as fast as they can. They discuss therapeutic ideas with doctors all over the globe on a daily basis. They are blocked from any rational discussion about the efficacy of Ivermectin, in the press.

This drug is dangerous I tell you, very dangerous. Nobody know where it came from. Nobody has taken it for a virus >sacr
.
I suggest, I not being a medical doctor, that you follow the dosing advice by the FLCCC and watch for any updates posted on their website, when they find new information.
Good luck.

sorry for the spellin and grammer

It is a valid question.

Glad you had something creative to add to the discussion.....

With your posting manner, you should be pushing the vaccine. It would drive a great many to use ivermectin.

 

[Profit of Doom]

Agreed, these are doctors you can trust. Follow their advice.

Been taking it for months - never felt better !

 

[Telescope Steve]

Here is what the Front Line Doctors have on their website. And they have links to connect you with doctors who will treat you over the phone if you are sick. That's probably the smartest option is to have a doctor evaluate your symptoms.

There is a lot more medicines on here than just Ivermectin.

Not a Dr., Not giving advice.

But I think the issue you're thinking of is the minimum effective dose; and IIRC there was a MedCram video on that very subject for either HCQ or IVM posted long ago here on the long covid thread. Probably if you searched for medcram vids on youtube, it might have survived the purge; or perhaps a search of the big thread may give you some leads.

Went into pretty good explanations regarding dosing/effective dose/lifespan of the medicine in the subjects.

The study cited was (IIRC) for a different pathogen, but the concepts are the same.

 

[SuperDutyDoug]

Good inputs; thanks.

Summerthyme had commented about using lower dosages for prophylaxis, but I need to do some digging to find her post. Note I have zero medical background, nor am I being monitored for liver function while taking Ivermectin. I consider myself lucky - I take no prescription meds for any ailments. Hence my caution about dosages.

Mayhap your Dr. would be willing to work with you. There's also a vid posted around here somewhere of Dr. McCullough listing a medical group that is willing to work and prescribe, pro-bono, for the ill.

Some of the 'advice' on dosages I've seen has made my hair greyer than it should be.

Of course, "Trusted Authorities" turning out to be perhaps less than so, ain't helped in the grey hair department, either.


Here's the post with the vid:

I’ll second the notion that the dosing provided is not necessarily easy to apply to different situations. I would be extremely grateful for a more simplified formula for different likely situations.

1) Prophylactic

2) Symptoms or confirmed positive

3) Caring for a confirmed positive

I think you should study the I-Mask + Protocol. It has dosing for Prophylaxis, The latest version Sept 1st, 2021

Thank you. I really appreciate the attempt to help. I have read those and downloaded them and printed them to cover all the bases. It is probably just me (and stress) but I am not still not feeling confident in applying that to my situation. I do appreciate it.

 

[Easy G]

For instance, many freaked out when someone here ( I think in the 250 lb range) said they took 36 mg. My math says Post Exposure for 250 lbs is .4 or .6 / 113 kg = is 56 mg per day for 5 days straight. According to FLCCC. Could anyone comment on that hypothetical . Does 56 mg per day for 5 days seem high?

Hmmm... I don't remember saying that, but I may have mused on whether it would work. Dunno.

But at this point, I'd pay attention to the FLCCC recommendations, as they are in the trenches and are seeing what works first hand. My life has changed to the point that I'll no longer have the community input I used to have.

This is an important thread so it's getting bumped to the top.

I'll only say, the wife & I were taking the base dose of IVM, 2mg/kg. once a week. Damn Delta still got thru. However, upping the dosage to 4mg/kg for two days kicked it's butt.

I don't believe there is a fast rule for prevention as every one's body reacts differently. Supposedly we now have the best prevention, antibodies, good for a year, anyway. Some UK studies say two years.

I just found out there is a doctor in a town near me that is treating with ivermectin. Which is good to know, I'd go there instead of the VA if I thought I was getting it and I'd have to pay.

FYI, Alldaychemist has 12mg pills.

Check if he will see you now, and prescribe ahead of need. If so, fill it and have it ready, instead of waiting over the weekend then hoping he isn’t slammed thru Wednesday. Early treatment means just that, start now.

From a site I ran across
Fist time exposed the body takes 15 days to make antibodies
Second time 5 days and the body makes 100x the antibodies
the human body does not forget the virus
"Quickly making lots of antibodies can stop an infection in its tracks. The first time your body fights a virus, it can take up to 15 days to make enough antibodies to get rid of it. With the help of Memory B-cells, the second time your body sees that virus, it can do the same in thing 5 days. It also makes 100 times more antibodies than it did the first time. "

It takes TIME for it to work. If there's a full load of buggies killed, your system will be spending a lot of time clearing the die off. Slamming another dose too soon, body chaos ensues. Thankfully, ivermection seems to be a very forgiving drug.
