When you're too stupid to read dosage instructions
The Texas Department of State Health Services is issuing a health advisory over the improper use of ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19 after calls to the Texas Poison Center Network for people exposed to the drug increased 150%.
While some countries are conducting studies on ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19, it is currently not an approved treatment in the U.S., and experts warn taking any medication in large quantities or for an unapproved use can be very dangerous.
I use ivermectin, once a month for the prevention of the Chinese flu. They are trying to scare everyone so that big Pharma can make billions off of you, don't buy it. Barnhardt dot biz / ivermectin for concise info. Hybo
You sir are absolutely correct. A virtual plethora of worldwide studies show undeniable proof. CDC, FDA, WHO all refuse to endorse...and where does the bulk of their funding come from, yup, pharma, easy to look up and verify.
I'm guessing none of the callers decided to just sit down and wait to die? LOL.
The dosage is right on the tube of paste. Pretty hard to screw up, although my tube was in lbs and I guess some are in kgs. Damn european commie metric nonsense.
And reporting that the calls increased by 150% sounds much worse that "we got 159 calls over the past 8 months for the entire state of Texas". Whoop-de-do.
This article is purposely misleading. Ivermectin is an FDA approved drug for parasitic infections in humans and has been for years. It is not FDA approved for COVID (but then neither are the "vaccines") but a very large body of empirical evidence supports this use. Ivermectin was the drug that enabled President Trump to recover from COVID in 48 hours. Remember the FDA is totally captive to the large pharmaceutical companies. In point of fact, one of the top officials of the FDA has resigned only to be immediately appointed to the board of directors of Pfizer.
I'd guess most of those poisonings were from people taking anti-worm juice that had other medicines, like piperazine, included in the formula. You don't want any other active ingredient added to Ivermectin. Read the damn label! tallowpot
Better yet, download the specific product monograph from the manufacturer. It has dosing, contraindications, and lists all the non-proprietary ingredients. Good stuff.
Whatever... If you take too much of anything, it will harm/kill you. Try drinking 4 gallons of pure water, while you do yard work in the middle of August in the SouthEast. Frankly, I am amazed that so many people live past 40 these days. -Just A Chemist
Ivermectin sold for livestock use is the same drug sold for human use. The difference is how it's packaged and delivered. The people having problems with Ivermectin are taking the full livestock dose instead of reducing it to human doses. I read about a guy who ate an entire tube of horse paste, which is a single dose for a 1250 pound horse.
Where in the US do farmers/ranchers weigh their livestock in kilograms? I'm old and I've never heard of anyone bragging about their 900 kg bull. Or their kid already weighs 50 kilos and he's only 6. Or momma's baby came out at 7 kgs and the nurse almost passed out.
Foot, pounds, and gallons. America. And a beer is 12 oz, not 11.2.
I can get prescriptions for human Ivermectin, but I asked the local pharmacy if they would fill it and they said no. The prescription MUST state what the intended usage is for. If it says Covid, then they can not dispense it by law. This is why people are going to the farm supply stores. I have a white hot burning hatred for my government!!!!!
oldvet, may I ask what state has that law? I ask because we have prescribed a number of meds over the years for "off label" use. Of course nothing this politicized. I wasn't aware of a state law prohibiting Iver for the Rona but my exposure is a little limited.
If your MD will prescribe it, then it is a small thing for him to prescribe it for a parasite. If your pharmacy has a problem, then you need another pharmacy. A genuine "local" pharmacy will call the MD, 'cause they know him personally, and straighten the shit out. Then they will fill the script. Period. My father always told me - "where there's a will, there's a way" I have found this to be true.
It is simply not true that the label say what it is for. It only has to state the dosage. I have had numerous prescriptions filled that on the label only say "take as directed".
Problem is a LOT of people are morons. They think if a little of a drug will help them then a lot must be better...too stupid to grasp that something can be helpful in small amounts AND kill you in large amounts. Even when PRESCRIBED with explicit instructions people manage to harm themselves by over medication.
In the late 90s (when I went into practice), 15K people died each year due to GI bleeds (stomach, colorectal) from OTC (Over-the-Counter) NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Aleve).
As stated above, in ‘merka, if a little bits good, a lots gotta be better.

ReplyDeleteAt least they are doing something about it. Local doctor's have marching instructions for over-the-counter cold meds. CDC Major fail.
ReplyDeleteWhatever...

Stooped should require a death penalty in most cases.
DeleteHe's really hung, now....
DeleteA cooperative doctor could also quietly diagnose something like scabies(yuk!) for which the standard treatment is, yay, ivermectin.
DeleteIn a lot of places, transmittable parasites like scabies and lice require a report to the local health department.
DeleteMeanwhile, HepC and HIV/AIDS people can go around without being reported to the local county health department.
