Popular Post suzannegoh Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 Where can Ivermectin be purchased in Chiang Mai and how much should it cost? I see on Lazada that they have veterinarian Ivermectin at dirt cheap prices. But I checked at a seemingly legit pharmacy near Thapae Gate and for the human-approved name brand version they were asking 1250 baht for twelve 6mg pills. I suspect that 1250 Baht is the special price for stupid farang, but maybe not. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojothai Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I do not know about Chiang Mai, but you will be lucky to find much in Bangkok. Can other people please add comment from experience. Its likely that many people have tried to find some. 1250 is a rip off. And Twelve 6mg pills will only give you one treatment which is for 3 or 4 days according to the dosages stated on medical websites that provide information relating to Covid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Om Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I asked at a Pharmacy and was quoted the same price, and I've seen the same price mentioned elsewhere. They were out of stock but had it on order. If there's a markup I don't think it's from the Pharmacies. My understanding is that it's only made in Thailand by one small company who makes limited amounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fearless1 Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) I take about 17 grams every one or two weeks (it's not an exact science and there are different prophylactic protocols). Generally, they all seem to involve taking approximately .2 mg/kg per dose which for me is about 3 and 1/2 pills. I take 3000 to 5000 iu's of vitamin D per day and 30 mg of zinc per day. I take other supplements too but the vitamin D and Zinc are the most critical in terms of protection related to covid. I generally drink a couple of glasses of wine per day and I have never noticed any problems with that. Keep in mind that over 4 billion doses of ivermectin have been administered over the last 30 years or so and the only side effects have generally been related more to the die-off of parasites than anything else. It's much safer than statins or ibuprofen. Edited July 23, 2021 by fearless1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much safer than statins or ibuprofen. Yes, but what all you guys who think social media is a better guide to health matters than science seem totally unaware of, is that the prophylactic treatment for parasites is one dose of ivermectin, every 3 months to a year! None of the 4 billion doses are taken by people every day or every week! Additionally you don't actually know whether you are having side effects or not. Just because you don't feel anything does not mean no harm is occurring, does it? If it did, then everyone who has early cancer, high blood pressure, and many other diseases would be aware of it straight away, rather than realising it only when the damage done becomes serious enough to show symptoms. See dosages here https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/ivermectin-oral-tablet#dosage Extract: "Take as directed Ivermectin oral tablet is used for short-term treatment. It comes with serious risks if you don’t take it as prescribed. If you stop taking the drug suddenly or don’t take it at all: Your parasitic infection won’t be cured. If you take too much: This is not likely because in many cases, you’ll take this drug one time only, as a single dose. However, if you take too much or your dose is too high, you could have dangerous levels of this drug in your body Dosage for parasite infection in the intestinal tract Adult dosage (ages 18–64 years) Typical dosage: 200 mcg/kg of body weight taken as one dose. Most people won’t need more than one dose. Dosage for parasite infection in skin or eyes Adult dosage (ages 18–64 years) Typical dosage: 150 mcg/kg of body weight taken as one dose. Follow-up treatment: You’ll likely need follow-up care from your doctor and additional rounds of treatment with this drug. Your doctor will decide when you’ll receive your next dose of ivermectin. You may be treated again in as few as three months. Edited July 23, 2021 by partington 13 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the studies you posted, you either didn't read them or you can't understand them. The Lancet study you posted actually says; "administration of ivermectin to geriatric patients does not produce an excess of deaths. This finding accords with several other reports in the published research noting a high degree of safety for this drug in both animals and human beings." Then you linked to an info sheet, about animals, that says those with have abnormal P-glycoprotein can have bad reactions. It has nothing to do with humans. Nonetheless, it does say, "ivermectin has a wide margin of safety in most mammalian species" The final study says that after searching the literature (and remember over 4 billion doses given) that they found 28 potentially suspect cases, but this is a paper which says that this is only with " a correlation between pre-ivermectin treatment L. loa microfilarial density", So in other words, if you have a certain type of african worm it could cause it to get through the blood brain barrier. However, They conclude the study with "the total number of reported cases suggests that such events are likely rare." I doubt many of the people on this forum are infected with l.loa, and even if they are, it's 28 cases out of 4 billion doses.

That is wrong. Even the levels of ivermectin for approved uses can interact with other medications, like blood-thinners. You can also overdose on ivermectin, which can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hypotension (low blood pressure), allergic reactions (itching and hives), dizziness, ataxia (problems with balance), seizures, coma and even death. Here is some more research and info to consider...... https://theconversation.com/a-major-ivermectin-study-has-been-withdrawn-so-what-now-for-the-controversial-drug-164627 Ivermectin, another bogus COVID treatment, becomes a darling of conspiracy-mongers. Say hello to ivermectin. Like the anti-malarial, ivermectin has been around for years as a known remedy for certain diseases. In hydroxychloroquine’s case, it was effective against malaria and some auto-immune conditions such as lupus. Ivermectin is commonly prescribed by veterinarians to deworm dogs, cats and farm livestock. It also has been prescribed for humans suffering from some parasitic infections. The drug was initially injected into the COVID treatment debate in mid-2020, thanks to a paper by Australian researchers who determined that at extremely high concentrations it showed some efficacy against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID, in the lab. As pharmacological experts pointed out from the start, because of ivermectin’s particular properties, it would be almost impossible to achieve the same concentrations of the drug in the human bloodstream that were used in the lab tests. Nevertheless, ivermectin was soon being promoted as a magic bullet against COVID, in part by anti-vaccine activists and advocates of alternative medicine. The drug quickly became something of a political darling. That wouldn’t be a surprise to the World Health Organization, the Food and Drug Administration or, indeed, Merck, a manufacturer of ivermectin. The drug company says there is “no scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect against COVID-19 from pre-clinical studies; no meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with COVID-19 disease, and; a concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies.” Edited July 24, 2021 by xylophone 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are being very selective and mixing things up to suit your case, because research does show that ivermectin can be dangerous, and even if it's discoverer has been awarded the Nobel prize, it wasn't awarded because of the fact it was efficacious against Covid! I will listen to the virologists and specialists/doctors worldwide who have basically said that there is no evidence whatsoever that ivermectin is useful against Covid, and even when one research paper put forward results that showed it could, this research paper was shown to be totally flawed. Sure, it can be used to treat worms and parasites, but no evidence whatsoever that it is useful in treating Covid. And as for being a dangerous drug, well there is no specific dosing regimen offered for ivermectin against Covid, so people are free to do what they want with it and in that case, it can be dangerous. I will listen to the experts and I don't consider somebody on a forum here to be one of those, although I will say that Partington, a long-time poster, has a lot of knowledge in this area because it is his field of expertise.
