I'm a bit worried and wanted to see if I can get your advice. My family doctor told me to take ivermectin even though I don't have COVID, and she suggested taking a second dose three days after the first one. She mentioned that I should do this every month. I'm not sure if it's okay to take ivermectin twice a month like this when I'm not even sick with COVID. Is this safe?
Ivermectin is typically used to treat parasitic infections, and its safety and efficacy for regular, monthly use without COVID-19 or parasitic infections are unclear; potential risks and side effects include gastrointestinal issues, allergic reactions, and interactions with other medications; consult a specialist or pharmacist to discuss the potential benefits and risks and determine if alternative treatments are available for your specific condition.
