Ivermectin authenticity verification?

OK, so I found a source and ordered a stock of Ivermectin. I wanted human grade stuff, instead of the "horse paste". It is a USA source, matter of fact even within my own state, and I had to go through a series of questions as an online exam. I must have passed muster, so the Ivermectin is on it's way to me as we speak.

But with nearly everything under the sun being counterfeited these days by unsavory people (and even countries), how will I know it is the REAL THING? This seems like a perfect way to run a scam, since with medications there is no "sure thing". Yeah, it works in 99 percent of the cases, and unfortunately you were in that one percent. It would be a claim nearly impossible to dispute. And for sure Ivermectin is a really hot item now.

I plan to keep it as a "life preserver" for the wife and I. I am 71 and she is 66. I may take one as a prophylactic when I get it, but that is about it unless it appears we are coming down with something that COULD be COVID. It will likely (hopefully) just sit in the refrigerator.

Any ideas?

Not really, but I would check to see what the prophylactic effective dose is before you just take one. Again, I have no idea about this and even less idea about how you would verify the veracity of the pill itself, but I would see what a prophylactic dose is before taking the pill (you might need to order more or just forgo it altogether).

In your case, caveat emptor is about it.

You pays your money and you takes your chances.

Your best bet is to doctor shop around until you find one with an open mind when it comes to Ivermectin. Then get a prescription from a real pharmacy and follow their advice about safe dosage, when to take it, and for how long.

As far as whether or not you are getting the real stuff. The only way to know for sure is to have it tested.

Besides internet investigation (reviews, research into the company), does caveat emptor really apply, because the goods are not available to the buyer until arrival, post purchase.

The FLCCC's protocol is .2 mg/kg twice a week for prophylaxis.

Personally, I wouldn't use it unless I thought I was at risk of exposure. It's apparently most effective for use at the first sign of symptoms and/or a positive test.

Yes.

The buyer must beware. I would add, "and highly skeptical of buying any drug off the internet."

I have no problem with Ivermectin, it seems to work to lower the risk of covid if done right pretty well for most people. Being this is actual human medicine and if you have instructions on the dose, I think it will probably be all right. Now, remember this, all meds can have negative side effects for some people. The risk is decently low with ivermectin, but it is there. If you cannot clear it out of your system, it can build up. I am not sure if the kidneys or the liver clears that from the body, I did read that somewhere but I read so many articles about metabolism and enzymes needed to break things down that I can't remember on this how the metabolites are excreted.

Was it expensive to get it? With shipping and paperwork it could raise it up in price quite a bit.

I think anyone that tries to practice medicine on themselves without a license has a fool for a patient.

(since Ive gotten a hassle for this position here, I will clarify, past taking an aspirin for a headache or cleaning and bandaging a scraped elbow or minor cut)

I definitely agree with you on that statement.

Are you a doctor? Why in the world would you give out medical advise if you arent? wow

But that's where I buy all my drugs, and it hasn't, it hasn't, it hasn't, it hasn't effected me at all. Where am I?

Does a driver's license count?

Well
several points.

1 if you care for babies everyone should be taking ivermectin. To Kill the worms 60 million are carrying in the USA.

2 seems shopping around for a doctor is getting harder. Prominent Medical Boards’ Message to Physicians—Keep Quiet on COVID-19 Vaccine or Risk Loss of Licensure & Economic Livelihood

Side hope is it might help your immune system prevent a Cytokine Storm Syndrome in the event of an adverse immune response to a foreign body.

So lets all try to eradicate the worms.

I am not a doctor and I did not give any medical advice in that post. Reread it. Instructions on use should come from a doctor. I just said I do not have any problem with that medicine, it was a personal opinion. I did state there are some possible side effects, I got that info from reading medical articles about the drug. People can comment on medicines and explain what the causes of side effects could be without being a doctor. I don't even give medical advice to my family, I give them information to make an informed decision but that is it. I gave information related to possible side effects in that post.

Well it was first on the list from this site when I looked up sources: covid19criticalcare.com...

sevencells.com...

So have at it and tell me what you can dig up. I couldn't find anything damning in what reviews I could find. And I felt it sure beat ordering some from India.

Chance of getting scammed? Yeah.

Does it beat eating horse paste? Beats me. But that would have been my second choice.

Better than taking the vaccine shots? Perhaps time will tell.

Better than doing nothing at all and just hoping that mandates will overlook me nor the virus find myself and my wife? That would be just chock full of opinions, wouldn't it?

So reading the Australian governments website New restrictions on prescribing ivermectin for COVID-19

Firstly, there are a number of significant public health risks associated with taking ivermectin in an attempt to prevent COVID-19 infection rather than getting vaccinated. Individuals who believe that they are protected from infection by taking ivermectin may choose not to get tested or to seek medical care if they experience symptoms. Doing so has the potential to spread the risk of COVID-19 infection throughout the community.

But doesn't those taking the vaccine pose the exact same risk of ignoring symptoms in the belief they are protected and have the potential to spread the risk of COVID-19 infection throughout the community? ( note think they mean spread a SARS-COV-2 infection COVID-19 is a reaction to the infection 98% of people do not experience )

Secondly, the doses of ivermectin that are being advocated for use in unreliable social media posts and other sources for COVID-19 are significantly higher than those approved and found safe for scabies or parasite treatment. These higher doses can be associated with serious adverse effects, including severe nausea, vomiting, dizziness, neurological effects such as dizziness, seizures and coma.

Well, even more confusion has anyone got evidence of the seizures and comas from taking Ivermectin?

Even the UK SARS-COV-2 Chris Witty wrote in 2010

Doses up to 10 times the approved limit are well tolerated by healthy volunteers [5]. Adverse reactions are few and usually mild [6, 7].

and had sources to prove it Proof


So how high must the dose be to introduce a coma?

I have no problem researching the method of action of medicines and experimenting with food chemistries to replicate the medicines properties. Most times with proper research it works. Now, I cannot say that I did not have side effects with the supplements on occasion.

I tried holy thistle to fix my liver and it seemed to work, but the girl at the healthfood store said that one brand worked great for her. I should have paid more attention to her big tits.....it had blessed thistle in it too, fifty percent. I am a guy, I did not need blessed thistle. I gave the rest to my daughter because she said it would be nice, it did endow her but she stopped having periods and she had symptoms of early menopause...she took two instead of one a day. So she quit and then got pregnant....she is a cute granddaughter and is now in kindergarden. My bad.

. For minor problems, sure. But past that, you would be on thin ice!

Alrighty then. Dont let me judge your practice. Sounds like you know what you are doing, at least you believe so.
