It offers almost no detectable prophylactic function against COVID-19.
If it has any effect on COVID-19 infections it is only very mild, barely detectable in most studies that have found any positive effect at all and most have found none at all.
In the USA Ivermectin is being touted by the right wing as the correct COVID-19 solution for Africa, Mexico and India, who'd have thunk it! They think an expensive, highly profitable but barely effective treatment is better than a cheap highly effective vaccine, I wonder why?
btw., On the cost, the PBS subsidised cost of Ivermectin is about $35 a box of four, the base cost of Ivermectin is capsule form is $85 per capsule. Sure India, Africa and Mexico are going to dispense bulk Ivermectin! :o
