Ivermectin poses as a potential treatment for Covid. The medicine was in trials and the results are not as expected. For now, FDA and the WHO have not approved Ivermectin for Covid symptoms treatment. Studies estimated that the drug works by restraining the host importing alpha/beta-1 nuclear transport proteins. It is one of the important transport processes which are captured by the virus to spread infection and suppress the antiviral host. However, without the approval from medical authorities, Ivermectin cannot be consumed or self-medicated for treating Covid symptoms.
Ivermectin, an effective anti-parasitic drug, is available in tablet form which has to be taken orally and it starts its effect within 4 hours of consumption. Please consult your doctor before using the medicine.
