Ivermectin naj bi bil zelo učinkovit kortiko steroid pri preprečevanju in zdravljenju covida19. To je že obstoječe zdravilo in menda brez stranskih učinkov.
Lep dikcije. "

Samo opomba, ivermectin ni kortikosteroid. Kortikosteroid je deksametazon, ki pa se uporablja uradno pri COVID-u.
Zanimivo bo videti "argumente" faktčekerjev ....
FDA recently became aware of increased public visibility of ivermectin after a research article that described the effect of the drug on SARS-CoV-2 in the lab.

Ivermectin has antiviral effects against several distinct positive-sense single-strand RNA viruses, including SARS-CoV-2.Ivermectin inhibits replication of SARS-CoV-2 in
monkey kidney cell culture with an IC50 of 2.2 - 2.8 µM, making it a possible candidate for COVID-19 drug repurposing research. The doses used in cell culture would
require 10 000 larger doses in humans based on this data, which does not look promising as an effective treatment for COVID-19. Such high doses of ivermectin are not covered by the current human-use approvals of the drug and could be dangerous, as the likely antiviral mechanism of action is the suppression of a host cellular process, specifically the inhibition of nuclear transport by importin α/β1. Moreover,
cell culture experiments also showed promise for ivermectin treating Dengue, but later failed in animal models.
On 10 April 2020, the FDA issued guidance to not use ivermectin intended for animals as treatment for COVID-19 in humans.
A preprint published in April 2020 claimed benefits of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19, but it was a retrospective study based on questionable hospital data from Surgisphere and was withdrawn at the end of May. The preprint led to several government agencies in Latin America recommending ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment; these recommendations were later denounced by the regional WHO office.
On October 12, 2020 Peru withdrew its authorization to use ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as COVID-19.
