Hell, I just go to Tractor Supply and buy the horse dewormer for about $12 and change. But I'm looking forward to over the counter IVM when it comes. May even take a road trip to Arkansas when it happens there.
I don't know. But Arkansas is an easy drive for me. Bentonville is only about 3 hours, whereas Tennessee is quite a bit further. A friend and I used to pet-sit for a couple there.
And Jeff was talking about going to Dothan AL to get some 'domestic' ivermectin, but I think almost all of it is still sourced in India or China, just like a majority of other meds.
I wonder if OTC will stop the egregious price gouging of the medicine in America. It’s really REALLY cheap to make and not expensive at all, but American doctors and compound pharmacies that made it available charge ridiculous prices for it. For instance, one pharmacy charged me $60 for two pills of 36mg each. I now get that same 36mg in three 12mg pills for .24 each. So 75¢ for one day dose vs $30. That’s the gouging going on.
I get mine from India all the time now. People like to fear monger that it’s unsafe and foolish and probably scamming me with sugar pills. But they do what they are supposed to do 🤷🏼♀️ and at about 60-100% cheaper in price.
Our ivermectin was and is from India in 2020 up to now. Most is made in India, even if you buy a compounded version... the ingredients are from India. I haven't seen any from China... I most recently bought 1k 12mg ivermectin pills from India Mart.com for $119. They arrived in 14 days. They are brand, not generic. Best price yet!
When I got Covid my one and only time and hadn’t learned about the India sources yet, and I was desperate. I got the paste, emptied my largest supplement capsules and stuffed them with the difficult-to-measure full symptoms treatment dose (which is more than the weight stick measures because that amount is a maintenance dose only,) and it took three capsules for the full dose. I was able to swallow with ease rather than have to taste it. Worked like a charm! I saw I could get empty 00 size capsules on Amazon for future use of the paste if ever needed.
The paste worked better for us. Which made me wonder if the stuff I bought from India was even quality, actual IVM. The pills weren’t a miracle anything….but the paste was 🤔
Been taking IVM from India without a scrip since early 2021. I initially feared it would be seized by USPS but that has not happened so far. By not using a scrip/US pharmacy there is no paper trail. Less of a concern now under DJT but still important to me. I hate it when I see a new doctor and they already have my meds list on file because it's in the Central Database, wherever that is.
People criticized me when I purchased IVM from an online Indian pharmacy with no Rx required.
The VA sends me one blood pressure Rx that is made in Bangladesh.

I thought TN already had IVM OTC.

But it does seem less dicey.
Yes, and essentially all vitamins as well.

I get mine from Mexico
If it’s cheaper I’ll make a road trip to stock up. I paid a small fortune for a few “in case” pills...

It costs pennies to make one pill. Selling sugar pills would seem foolish.
Agree!
Many of the meds we stock in hospital are from India. They are individually wrapped and say so right on the label.

Hi. I'm looking at that source, don't see any qty of 1K. Can you DM me addl information?
Thanks!
I was more comfortable putting my payment information into an Indian shopping cart than I would ever be having a VA doctor put a needle in me.
...so true.
Get the paste- 1.87%. I wouldn't by crap from India or Bangladesh. Which is probably one their main ingredients in everything. LOL
My doctor, at the Tractor Supply medical center, dispensed my ivermectin on demand.
Neigh!
I actually purchased the paste first at the height of the pandemic. Was afraid that my order from India would be seized by USPS.

I love your ingenuity!
Where is the paste made?
