I’m curious as to how many drugs out there today contain ivermectin and we just don’t realize it. There’s a topical gel treatment to be applied to the face for rosacea that’s called Soolantra. Goodrx shows the retail price for a 45 gram tube as being as high as $650. Guess what the active ingredient is… IVERMECTIN. If it’s such a dangerous drug why would they want you to even think of putting it on your face? And secondly, WHY is it so expensive when ivermectin is so cheap?? Ivermectin is inexpensive, effective and has a half life of 16 hrs so it doesn’t hang around in your body very long. Ridiculous that such a stink was made against its use. Criminal actually.

Ivermectin was isolated from a plant called worm wood or sweet Annie. The plant is available and is easy to grow. It's an attractive ground cover growing 6 to 12 inches high. The leaves are bitter.

Actually this is the story of how ivermectin was developed from a bacteria only found in soil in Japan. https://www.acs.org/content/dam/acsorg/education/whatischemistry/landmarks/discovery-of-ivermectin-mectizan.pdf.
