Were you able to get your doctor to prescribe it for you? I still have to go the (very expensive) route of ordering it out-of-state. I would love to find a more reasonably-priced alternative.

You can also consult with a doctor at www.myfreedoctor.com and they submit to a compounding pharmacy near you. MFD will write Rx for IVM for Covid treatment, spike detox or for you to have on hand in case of contracting Covid in the future. It’s helpful to have IVM on hand as efficacy in treating Covid is improved the sooner you take it. Good luck!

PS - a friend has a concierge doctor (annual fee $3000) who said he “wasn’t comfortable” prescribing IVM for my friend’s case of Covid. The doctor said if the patient could get IVM online he’d prefer his patient do that. Imagine paying that fee and then having your doctor send you to the internet...

That's exactly what I've done, and I do keep it on hand. I was very glad to have it last week, as I caught the Wuhan flu while vacationing in Italy. Hubby didn't feel well one day, but it turned out to just be allergies. Then I didn't feel well, and I assumed it was the same -- only to feel even worse the next day. I wish I had taken it at the first sign, but thank goodness I had it with me. I was fine within 72 hours, but walking 6-7 miles/day in 85-degree/85% humidity with a fever/congestion/sore throat (and my foot in a boot) was *miserable*!! It's just so frustrating knowing that these little pills SHOULD cost about a nickel each, but we have to jump through hoops and pay way more than we should. Grrr... And I would be majorly POd at that 'concierge' doctor! My doctor won't prescribe it either, but she's part of a large university medical center, so I know her hands are tied.

All that says to me is that doctor knows IVM works, but doesn't want to take a chance he'll take a hit on his license. Way to work for your patients, doc! 🙄
