Finally after multiple attempts at multiple sources trying to get Ivermectin, I finally received it! (more on that below). I took it yesterday and was hesitant to do so as I’m leaving town this weekend and some of the intestinal distress comments had me worried. But I did it anyway. I’m over 60 and have been feeling my age (brain fog, sluggish, hurting joints, etc) for a long long time. Many days it was all I could do to get out of bed to work each day.
Well… I had no stomach distress at all. This morning I woke up and jumped out of bed and felt the least amount of pain, highest amount of energy and mental clarity than I have felt in years! After an hour I remembered I had taken the ivermectin. I had actually forgotten about it since I had no issues and I knew I had the reminder in my calendar for dose 2 tomorrow. This will now become part of an annual one time routine going forward.
Now for how I got it and got it quickly…. After having my appointment with Frontline months ago and still not received any medication‘s at all (first pharmacy shut down, second one told me 3 weeks ago I would have it in 2 weeks), I ordered from Mexico and India and still not received those either. Sunday a friend sent me a link to pushhealth where I requested a PA tele visit. The website makes you choose a pharmacy. I chose the first one (home delivery) and within 12 hours had my prescription called in. Went to pay and was shocked at the $200 price for only 72mg!
My friend who forwarded me the link told me to call a small compounding pharmacy in my city who would fill it and they would transfer the prescription and it cost a whole lot less. The PA had prescribed 3 mg tabs but noted compounding was allowed. Talked with the pharmacist at the compounding pharmacy who said he would do a 12 mg Capsul giving me the same number of total mg and dosing to match the script and that it would cost a whole lot less than the 3mg tabs. Tuesday I picked up my prescription and it cost me $42 instead of $200! And the best part is they are local and I can pick it up.
I recommend calling any compounding pharmacies in your area to see if they will fill ivermectin and if so whenever you get a prescription from any doctors (online or in person), either have them send it directly to the compounding pharmacy or have the prescription transferred if sent to another pharmacy. Much faster and a whole lot less expensive!
What is Cipro? I haven't heard of that. Thanks.
Broad spectrum antibiotic. Take zithro (zpack) for anything above stomach and Cipro for stomach and intestines. We carried these in denied access countries.
careful of cipro - it does weaken the tendons. I tore my ACL after taking it and it takes between 6-8 months to recover from the weakness. 2 ACLS down before I found the warning.
Yikes!! That's a shame! Why didn't your doctor know that? Sorry that happened to you and thank you for the warning.
Thanks. We dont have many actual doctors just pharma prescribers. I got one fixed and the other rebuilt through hard work. being allergic to the cillin family has its downfalls and frankly my doctor is a moron and not just for this issue.
Ha! Yeah. I saw someone here say doctors have become little more than pharmaceutical salesmen. So true. Glad you're okay now and I sure hope you can find a decent doctor!
Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone family. It is good for bacterial infections. I've had it for ear infections in the past, and it was always good for that. It was also the med of choice when anthrax-laced mail was being sent to people back around 2001.
It has fluoride in it; might want to look at something else.
Interesting. Thanks.
