The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is urging people to stop taking veterinary drugs to treat or prevent Covid-19 after receiving multiple reports of patients who have been hospitalized after "self-medicating with ivermectin intended for horses," according to the federal agency.

"You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it," the FDA tweeted from its official account on Saturday, alongside a consumer update detailing why the drug can be unsafe for humans.

Ivermectin, which is not an anti-viral drug, is generally used to treat or prevent parasites in animals.

"These animal drugs are often highly concentrated because they are used for large animals like horses and cows, which can weigh a lot more than" a human, the FDA update reads. "Such high doses can be highly toxic in humans."

Patients who overdose with ivermectin can experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, low blood pressure, allergic reactions, dizziness, problems with balance, seizures, coma and even death, according to the FDA.

The agency clarified that the FDA-approved ivermectin tablets meant to treat people with certain conditions caused by parasitic worms as well as topical formulations used for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea are different from the drug used on animals. Ivermectin tablets and topical formulations for humans have "very specific doses" that are significantly smaller than the doses meant for animals.

Moreover, "many inactive ingredients found in animal products aren’t evaluated for use in people," the FDA warned. "In some cases, we don’t know how those inactive ingredients will affect how ivermectin is absorbed in the human body."

The FDA stressed that no form of the ivermectin drug has been approved by the agency for use in treating or preventing Covid-19 in humans.

"However, some initial research is underway," the agency said, adding that "taking a drug for an unapproved use can be very dangerous. This is true of ivermectin, too."

The agency said it was forced to issue a warning in the consumption of ivermectin following "a lot of misinformation" around the drug.

"You may have heard that it’s okay to take large doses of ivermectin. That is wrong," the FDA consumer update reads. "Meanwhile, effective ways to limit the spread of Covid-19 continue to be to wear your mask, stay at least 6 feet from others who don’t live with you, wash hands frequently, and avoid crowds."

The FDA has also granted emergency use authorizations for three Covid-19 vaccines to prevent Covid-19 infections.

Covid-19 has claimed the lives of more than 630,000 people in the U.S. since the start of the pandemic in early 2020. Since then, more than 37.6 million cases of Covid-19 infections have been reported nationwide, according to NBC News' tally.

FDA will approve vaccines after 8 months when most take 10-14 years? Fugg them..

Not true a new flu vaccine is approved about every 8 months proving that covid is the flu

My doctor prescribed me ivermectin last week for COVID. It’s was pharmaceutical grade and came in 5mg tablets. There you go.

Yep, I got a prescription too. I guess most people prefer to eat the horse grease.

Both the FDA tweet and the article leave a whole lot to be desired....

I believe in the FDA completely, as they have my best interest in mind at all times. I will throw my apple paste ivermectin in the trash immediately.

That’s how it was first available. In the good old days, one needed the vet to deworm their horses.

The people ODing on it are probably eating an entire tube.

Next thing ya know, Hiden Biden and the FDA will shut down Tractor Supply for selling it. 😡

Not at all. Our glorious governor made it illegal for Dr.s to prescribe Ivermectin or Hydrochloroquin in this state. Getting it from AFLCC cost me $189.00 for a box (week's treatment)... from the pharmacy they sent the script to. So it will cost $189.00 every time I am exposed... which I was this week once again. Best buddy and I were scouting for mule deer all day Thursday. He was complaining of suddenly having allergies due to the rain... congestion, runny nose, sneezing. He felt pretty bad the next morn and got tested... popped positive. His wife is now having symptoms. The human prescription pre-covid was normally $3-4 a box. I know this because my wife was in correctional (prison) health care and used to order it regularly. Crooks.

Same thing, no Dr on the planet will admit it. Many animal meds are the same as for humans.

My Dr. might have prescribed the pills for me but he dropped dead two days after his second Pfizer jab.

Just went through the Vid last month and given my comorbidities such as being kinda old and kinda fat and being diabetic and also asthma and both my wife and I got through it fine and have naturally earned antibodies I will give credit to the apple horsey paste.

Of course I dosed according to another Dr. on line that printed a chart of paste by weight. Easy peasy.

I'd love to see the list of people that have died from Ivermectin vs those that died from the jab.

Any guesses on what list is longer?

It would be hard for Ivermectin deaths to equal the nearly half million deaths from the vaccine (only counting deaths within two weeks), just in the US.

"Multiple reports"... meaning, what?.... Two? And a "report" does not exactly equal a verified case.

Assuming it's not just a total made up lie (and I pretty much assume that), even if some schmuck did poison themselves (probably drinking the "pour on" ivermectin, which would NOT be a good thing), it does NOT mean that ivermectin is poisonous, or any such thing.

I have taken it. My girlfriend has made a pretty quick recovery from covid by taking it.

And yeah, they will probably end up making it available by prescription only.

For me the prescription stuff is cheaper than the horse paste. Prescription for 12 weeks worth was 15.00 and I don't have to eat that greasy crap.

Yeah, even I have a hard time believing that there have been 500,000 deaths from the covid "vaccines"... especially just in the past two weeks.

Piss on them

Funny how Ivermectin stopped the Delta variant in India cold in it's tracks. FDA and CDC don't want us to use it, it may shut down their narrative.

We need an apple paste recipe thread.

I just took my first dose today, along with D3, C and zinc. Daughters team members are getting the C19 and she's starting to have sniffles, fever and a cough..

I find the wording of the FDA release interesting. They mention "Overdose" issues, but nothing about folks that take the correct amount for their body weight. It happens to be one of the safest drugs ever prescribed and the reason it's OTC for normal veterinary purposes. I'm not necessarily advocating off-label use of drugs, but this stuff has a pretty proven track record for safety, anti-inflammatory properties and uses for reducing viral load from illnesses such as malaria, zika and many others. I understand it hasn't had long lengthy clinical trials for C19 treatment, but the fact is, neither have any of the vaccines. The fact is, Ivermectin has been tested for metabolic safety, significantly longer than any of the mRNA vaccines.

Heck, I could overdose on milk, if I drank enough.

They gotta keep pushing the “Delta Variant” narrative for all Mail In Voting for The Midterm Elections so they can steal those too.

lol, look at the image the FDA put out there to go with the tweet.

Social engineering messaging much?

Bastids.

She’s saying “man, you’re hung like a horse.”

They don't want anyone to think there is an alternative to the Jab.

Nobody is ODing on ivermectin. More lies.

Last night I had a long talk with a neighbor who works in the ICU of the largest regional hospital, a 1,398 bed Level 1 Trauma Center. He was talking about how hospital administrators have been on the news claiming they are overwhelmed with Delta variant COVID-19 patients. He said this is complete nonsense. 1. They do not test for the Delta Variant , and 2. Thursday's ICU Covid-19 census was 5, five total patients.

This large hospital is the crown jewel of a modest sized regional hospital system incorporating several other much smaller hospitals. It received $130M+ in Pandemic assistance in the first half of 2020 alone.

Don’t tell Toots. LOL

Complete bullshit, the FDA did not "go after" ivermectin. Reading comprehension and context are key. Doctors are prescribing it regularly, JFC

The FDA just didnt mention the people hospitalized after taking ivermectin were hospitalized from COVID-19. They just forgot to mention those people didnt take enough ivermectin soon enough.

Follow the MONEY!

Every fuqking time.

Correct

What will likely happen is requiring you to have a vet administer Ivermectin. It has only been a few years since you could get pretty much the same antibiotics over-the-counter, for your animals, that would require you to get a script for if you were using them on yourself. The Feds put the kibosh on that much to the cheers of vets who now have the say-so on everything making you go to them and screwing you on the meds as well as an office call. Rabies shots used to be available for almost nothing mail-order. Now you have to go to a vet. This is what will happen with Ivermectin.

Rabies shots used to be available for almost nothing mail-order. Now you have to go to a vet.

I used to buy rabies vaccines at the Farmers Co-Op. It cost about $5 and it came in a box with a single dose vial, a syringe, and a tag for the dog’s collar. About 15 years ago the veterinary lobby got the law changed so the Co-Op couldn’t sell them any more, now you’ve got to haul your dog to the vet to get it vaccinated at a cost of $30 or so. The result is that now hardly anyone living in the country has their animals vaccinated because it’s too much of a PITA and costs too much if you have multiple dogs.

So now we probably have 10% the number of animals vaccinated that we used to because the vets forced people to pay them instead of letting the owner do it themself. Bunch of greedy bastards.

Ever wonder why you pay your government taxes and they use it to try and kill you?
