What is it prescribed to humans for?

Does it go by a different name or something? I have never known anyone to use it.

Is it as widely used as things like Neosporin, aspirin, Tylenol, etc?

it's mostly used as an anti parasitic, in the poorer parts of the world and has benefitted billions of people. It's incredibly cheap and safe

Thanks. Not sure why I didn't deserve a response, but I appreciate the information none the less.

So it's a de-wormer. Seems like that's what it's been called all along. Horse = big dose, human = little dose. Is covid a worm? Not sure why it would be prescribed for that.

your brain looks like there's a worm infesting it there ??

in the early days it had been shown to kill Covid in vitro so that was where it started, but hasn't specifically been clearly proven to be effective as a Covid treatment. It was just a little bizarre at least here that the government specifically banned Doctors from prescribing it for Covid patients. It's been used off label in a range of other conditions and has a very very good safety profile. The whole thing with the "horse wormer" references was people trying to make out like that was the primary use and wasn't used in humans. As usual it became a political point.

In the US, this was a big movement the FDA was fighting.

The only danger to that was for doctors prescribing ivermectin for covid-19, creating a supply shortage. How do you feel about doctors prescribing ivermectin for covid-19?

Not in the US, here most of the sales were of the livestock variety.
