For COVID-19 "In February 2021, I was diagnosed with Covid, later turning into pneumonia. Most recently, the pneumonia has completely taken over my life. I can’t talk, walk, or eat without great difficulty because I cannot breathe. The pulmonologist I was seeing just put me on prednisone, which hardly did a thing. I went back to my primary, who put me on dexamethasone and ivermectin, and within two weeks, two weeks, I could breathe again. I only wish I went to my doctor sooner. I am thankful for my primary care physician and the ivermectin."

For COVID-19 "50-year-old female, 37-year-old smoker. I took ivermectin on the day I tested positive for Covid and woke up the next day symptom-free. My lungs did start congestion on day 7 but I was taking the ivermectin every 4th day so it kept it from going deep, and I was fully recovered at two weeks. My husband also took it, 52-year-old, 310 lbs, and he too knocked out symptoms using ivermectin every fourth day. Both are fully recovered."

For COVID-19 "My husband and I did not take the vaccine, but we are not high risk. We got on Ivermectin to hopefully keep us from getting the virus, and we were both very hopeful since my neighbor said it worked and I read a lot about it online too. My daughter and grandkids visited the first week of July, and the day after they got back home, they were diagnosed with Covid. On July 12th, my husband and I also tested positive. But we were still taking the Ivermectin!! Thank God we survived and are finally doing better. I’m still really tired and having issues with my heart racing and dizzy spells, so I’m on leave from my part-time job at my church. My husband got much sicker than I did, but he survived, thank God. He is on oxygen still, but he’s out of the hospital after 25 days! I do think Ivermectin helped us survive this horrible virus! It was easy to take, and while it didn’t keep us from getting it and being very sick, it may have kept us from dying, as we know several that have died, and they didn’t take it."

For COVID-19 "I am 67 and my husband is 68. Neither of us were vaccinated. My son is a frequent visitor to Mexico, and he noted that he had not seen a huge epidemic of Covid in Mexico. Mexicans take Ivermectin, as it is sold over the counter. He brought back a supply to keep on hand. We contracted Covid, two months ago, from a fully vaccinated couple we met at a party. Our symptoms were the same: congestion, lots of mucus, and exhaustion. It felt like we were coming down with colds. My husband visited the doctor for his congestion and tested positive for Covid. He couldn't believe it. We had no fever or loss of taste or smell. We had no dire symptoms. We took the Ivermectin and the next day, our symptoms had dissipated. Within 10 days, we were over it. We took two pills daily, for two days. There were no bad reactions. It worked like a charm, and we were much better off than people who had been vaccinated."

For COVID-19 "My wife and I are 65 and 64 years old. We both contracted Covid-19 the second week of May 2022. She displayed symptoms first on Monday; by Wednesday, she was very sick with headache, breathing difficulties, cough, and fever. After testing positive, she took ivermectin and doxycycline. Within hours of starting the ivermectin, she improved rapidly. I tested positive and started my medications, and within three days, we were both doing much better. As a side benefit, we both have arthritis in our joints, and we were absolutely pain-free for nearly two weeks after taking the ivermectin with doxycycline."

For COVID-19 "My son and I both had long Covid. I had trouble with my smell and taste while my son was in bed for months. We tried everything, and he was seeing a specialist, but nothing was working. I decided to try ivermectin. My son was back to himself after three treatments, and I was better after one. No adverse reactions, only unbelievable results. So thankful for this drug."

For COVID-19 "I'm a male at 63 years of age who contracted COVID on an airplane. As of Wednesday morning of this week, and now it's Friday evening. The 1st day was pretty uneventful with some weird feelings of headache and a little bit of body ache. Then, day 2 turned into a violent day of major headache pain. I couldn't breathe out of my nose and had restricted airways into my lungs. I figured because of my underlying conditions of asthma, heart disease, and weakened immune system that this was not going to work for much longer by itself with no treatment. So, I chose to use ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. I was able to get my hands on that product by Thursday evening and took my 1st dose of both. Within one hour of taking the dose, my fever had dropped back to normal. As of the next morning's dose yesterday, I felt 100% normal again with no body aches, no headaches, full ability to breathe. I felt like I had energy. I felt like I could go out and mow the lawn."

Stromectol (ivermectin) for Scabies "Works well, but the bug has to bite you in order for it to be effective. Administered by body weight formula. Reaches full strength within 4 hours after ingestion. Remains at full strength for approximately 18 hours. Dissipates afterwards at approximately 2.5mg per day. Estimated half-life is 12 days per dose. All conditions depend on body weight. Kills bugs wherever they feed, including those in the skin, which may cause ulcers from the decomposing dead parasite. Effectiveness on pre-existing eggs is questionable. Work closely with a doctor on the dosage and saturation levels or overlap doses. Keep records on reactions/results."

For Scabies "1 - First round Permethrin Nothing. 2 - Second round Permethrin Nothing again. I call the doctor: 'Ivermectin please — this didn't work'. 3 - First round Ivermectin Nothing happens. 4 - Third round Permethrin New bites. 5 - Second round Ivermectin (FAREWELL SCABIES!) Just as another reviewer had said, I took all five 3 mg tablets, and everything seemed to just die down after about three hours, and I woke to ZERO itch and the red spots disappearing quickly. 6 - Case closed. I woke this morning, and ALL ITCHING IS GONE. My suggestion is that Ivermectin be prescribed with Permethrin for the second dose together 5-7 days afterward. Scabies is the worst, and for those who have not had it, feel fortunate. P.S. Those real itches that would naturally occur during your infestation - that were not bite-related? You just assume it is mites... I will never scratch an itch the same way again."

For COVID-19 "It works. I think I had delta and started it on day one of testing positive. Was better in 3 days. Wife didn’t take it and ended up getting covid pneumonia! She wishes she took it because she was sick for 3 weeks."

For COVID-19 "I did not use Ivermectin as a treatment when I was COVID 19 positive. Post infection I have been a disaster with every imaginable lingering symptom. I suffered for months with massive fatigue, pain, dizziness, brain fog etc, Helpless, I finally did a run of ivermectin at 22mg per day for 3 days. On day 2 my brain fog lifted significantly and I felt more like myself. I improved, but still lingering symptoms. I did a second run and I this time had massive improvements in all my symptoms. It’s not a cure, but without question has been very effective in treating the lingering effects from the virus that many are struggling with."

For COVID-19 "Husband (72) tested positive and was on a scary decline. Was able to get Ivermectin and is on the mend now. As for myself (58), I have not gotten it so far. Doctor gave me preventive ivermectin treatment. We are 16 days into this illness. I wish I had been able to get ivermectin sooner for my husband but even after 7 days delay, he has been hospital-free. He is overweight, has high blood pressure, type 2 diabetic, and is unvaccinated. We are thankful."

For Scabies "I was diagnosed with scabies at the ER and was given permethrin cream in 2 doses. It didn't work, so I went back to two different doctors; one said it wasn't scabies, it was bedbugs, and another said not bedbugs, but psychosomatic. Reluctantly, the 2nd doctor gave me ivermectin after I asked for it, and three hours after taking it, my itching and stinging stopped, and I could get some sleep. The scabies skin activity started up the next day for several hours and then went away completely by the 3rd day. I think this med should be protocol."

Stromectol (ivermectin) for Cutaneous Larva Migrans "Took it for 2 days and then every 12 days for 6 weeks. Saved my sanity. Incredibly effective. My doctor refused to send me to an infectious disease doctor to be treated, and infectious disease doctors only take referrals, so I bought it from out of the country."

For Scabies "Got this bump 5 weeks ago thought nothing of it just hives. More appeared went to the doctor knew it was scabies from the bumps. Took 3 treatments of permethrin, they kept coming back shortly the day after. Researched and found out about ivermectin; it's the best treatment. My first dose, everything stopped, awaiting 2nd dose after a week. But I seem to be cured, and I'd say it stays in your system for a good few days. It is 100 times better than that useless cream. If you get side effects from ivermectin, my heart goes out to you. The fact that doctors don't prescribe or know about this drug is madness. I had to tell them to give it to me!"

For Scabies "Did the Nix cream for scabies three times with no luck. New lesions the same day as last treatment, which was supposed to kill them all. Asked my doctor for the Ivermectin after being bothered with scabies and itching for over 9 months. 5 pills + Nix cream twice, one week apart did the trick. Itching was gone within hours, and bumps gone within two days. No new bumps or lesions! Though the Ivermectin says not to eat, I was told by my doctor to eat a bunch before taking it, so make sure to consult your doctor about this. I’m just so happy I’m rid of it, thank god for the Ivermectin."

For COVID-19 "My husband (48) & I (44) took Ivermectin trying to protect us from Covid. Side effects were AWFUL: stomach pains, nausea, diarrhea & my husband had really bad blurred vision & dizziness. He stopped taking it after 3 wks because of side effects. I hoped it would work better than it did, but we BOTH still got Covid 4 weeks after starting Ivermectin. My son, who refused to take Ivermectin since he was vaccinated for his job (mandated), didn’t get Covid although he is currently staying with us. I think it was all for nothing since we’re both still so sick after 16 days & my son didn’t have any of these side effects with his vaccine & also didn’t even get sick! Worth noting that the ER doc said my husband was already weak & dehydrated when he got Covid-19 since he’d been having diarrhea for weeks before, from the Ivermectin. I don’t recommend taking Ivermectin-It didn’t keep us from getting Covid & we are still really sick with Covid."

For COVID-19 "Took ivermectin (along with supplements Vitamin C & D, zinc, quercetin) day one of Covid symptoms (headache, 103 fever, slight cough, fatigue). I’m 63 and have asthma. Almost fully recovered in 36 hours - fluid in ear lasted another 5 days. No lingering symptoms whatsoever."

For Scabies "I picked up scabies at work in August 2019. I have eczema and thought it was a very bad exacerbation and developed cellulitis treated with antibiotics. Went to the GP three times before anyone diagnosed scabies, had two tubes of Permethrin, then three more with no improvement - and I applied it meticulously. I saw the dermatologist for more antibiotics for an infected leg and a prescription for Malathion. After two more weeks, a prescription for oral Ivermectin, just one dose. I explained you need two. No Ivermectin in the country so waited 12 days. Effective for about 14 days, then back they come. Another two tubes of Permethrin, infected feet now, these things are knocking my immunity and desperately using alternatives such as neem, clove oil, and tea tree. Then I ordered more ivermectin which took six weeks to arrive. I believe the mites are Permethrin resistant and the GPs do not understand treatment and have limited experience of diagnosis."

For Scabies "Two years of torture. I have scars all over my body. I have become OCD, so afraid of any dirt, germs, etc. Doctors said it was in my mind. They found it amusing. I'm on government health care. After a long illness, finally, after bothering them over and over, and maybe because I mentioned attorneys, I'm finally given ivermectin. It has helped more than the cream. I'm just wondering if after two years, my infestation is so bad that it won't work and I'll be back to them saying it's in my head. I'm completely isolated, and my quality of life is zero. Thank you, doctors."

For Scabies "I contracted scabies and used permethrin cream 5 times, to no avail. It did not work for me. I was very frustrated. Finally, I went to the dermatologist and was given two doses of ivermectin, 10 days apart. It did the trick. I got rid of the scabies, and I highly recommend it. Ivermectin should definitely be the first line of defense against scabies, not the cream. The cream did not work, at least not for me, and it made my rash a lot worse than it was with the scabies. It was just awful. Thank God for Ivermectin; it is definitely the cure for scabies."

For COVID-19 "I have taken Ivermectin as a prophylactic once a week for two years. I came down with a positive test two weeks ago. At that point my doctor had me do a 5 day regimen. I had one bad day and after that I dramatically improved daily."

For Scabies "Me and my daughter contracted scabies. Permethrin was used to no avail. We suffered for 4 months before the doctor prescribed ivermectin. We had to take 3 doses. Mine are gone. After 3 weeks, I still have them coming out from my skin. Unfortunately, my daughter still has them. I feel doctors should be more knowledgeable about scabies. I had to tell my doctor what to prescribe."

For COVID-19 "I tried it and had terrible just terrible neurological side effects. I even took a pretty low does 9mg. If you have any CNS issues whatsoever or have had tinnuties, peripheral nerve issues DO NOT TAKE THIS. I am suffering big time with shaking, internal vibrations, and nerve issues and crossing my fingers this goes away."

For Scabies "After trying the prescription cream 3 times with no improvement, I talked my doctor into giving me this. I took the two doses one week apart. In about 2 weeks I could no longer find live scabies on my skin and my rash lesions were beginning to heal."
