History

Ivermectin was discovered in 1970 through a soil sample in Japan. The credit goes to two scientists are known as Satoshi Omura and William Campbell, to isolate the soil’s bacterial culture. Later in 2015, they shared the prestigious Nobel Prize for their exceptional contribution to the field of medicine. Over time, the culture was researched and synthesized to form the Ivermectin medication. Initially marketed for veterinary use, Ivermectin was approved for a human trial in 1985. In 2018, the WHO recognized it as an essential medication and tagged it at 420th position under most prescribed medication in the United States.

Uses

Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic medication that helps in the treatment of scabies and lice-induced rosacea and blepharitis infection. It is particularly effective in cases of river blindness (Onchocerciasis) and Strongyloidiasis. The WHO recognizes Ivermectin as an effective treatment for Lymphatic filariasis- a parasitic condition is resulting in severe inflammation of legs, arms, breasts and genitals. Various studies have postulated that it can be used in Covid positive patients by reducing the symptoms caused by the Covid virus while preventing the virus from replicating further. However, the WHO and FDA has not approved its usage for Covid-19 treatment yet. Research is still ongoing regarding the Covid aspect.

Ivermectin was originally developed as an anthelmintic for veterinary use and remains to this day as an effective anti-parasitic medication for domestic animals especially dogs. Both external and internal parasites respond to treatment with Ivermectin. It is especially useful in heartworm cases in dogs that don’t respond to other medications satisfactorily. Other conditions like mange (both demodectic and sarcoptic) and ear mites with scabies are effectively resolved using the drug.

Mechanism of Action Against Parasitic Infections

 intracellular chloride channels. TFor parasitic infections, Ivermectin works by attaching itself to the parasites/worms’ muscles and nerve endings of the parasites/worms, thereby pushing open thehis results in hyperpolarization of their cell membrane, which paralyzes or kills them, after which they are removed from the body through the feces. Ivermectin also works against the intrauterine development of the parasites and destroys their replication mechanism. This helps in preventing the spreading of the infection.

Does it work for Covid Positive Cases?

For Covid virus treatment, Ivermectin has been observed through clinical trials in preventing the spike protein of the virus from binding itself to the cell receptors of the human body which prevents the virus from entering the body. Researchers have also postulated that Ivermectin has the potential to prevent the SARS-Covid virus from suppressing the antiviral response of the human cell that fights against the virus thus enabling the immune system to fight the virus effectively. But all of these postulations are still under clinical trials and FDA approval has not been provided as yet for Ivermectin as a potential Covid treatment medication. It is dangerous to use Ivermectin medication for anything other than its FDA approved measures. Human consumption of the veterinary component of Ivermectin for Covid treatment can be potentially life-threatening for the user.
