Here is Dr. Syed Haider's •INFORMED CONSENT FOR OFF-LABEL TREATMENT:

Off-label drugs are used every day in the US and make up more than 20% of all prescriptions, BUT they are usually widely affirmed by nearly all physicians and pharmacists to be safe and have enough data backing them up to argue for their off-label use.

This is NOT the case with off-label prescribing for COVID-19. It is a highly charged subject and most doctors and pharmacists DO NOT agree with using ANY off-label drugs for COVID-19 aside from over-the-counter medications for symptom control.

You can expect some pharmacists to REFUSE to fill any or all of these medications when they suspect they are being used for COVID-19 prevention or treatment. So far it has always been possible to find some nearby pharmacy to fill the prescriptions as some pharmacists either look the other way or are on board with our effort to treat COVID-19.

IVERMECTIN (IVM):

Ivermectin is a generally safe medication and has been used in millions of people around the world for over 30 years.

IVM appears to be close to 100% effective in preventing COVID19. 788 front line health workers in Argentina took it for 3 months and none of them got COVID19 compared to about 58% COVID infections in the group that didn't take IVM. It also reduces the severity of COVID 19 when taken in acute infection and reduces death from severe COVID19 by 85%. In one study it was also 95% effective for long COVID symptoms.

For treatment: 1 dose daily for 2-5 days. With this I will include 5 day supply with 2 refills in case you develop long COVID symptoms that persist more than 2 weeks after the first symptoms and you want to repeat a short 2 day course as has been done successfully in some small studies.

I can’t guarantee your pharmacy will have your medication in stock and have no way of checking which pharmacies in your area have a supply on hand. Best to check with the pharmacies first, but you can easily transfer the prescription if needed.

IVM SAFETY

Based on data compiled by various physicians around the world we believe Ivermectin is effective at preventing and treating COVID19 at every stage and can be safely used off-label in humans for this indication.

The non-partisan British Ivermectin Recommendation Development Panel (BIRD) has recommended ivermectin for prevention and treatment. The FLCCC in the US recommends ivermectin for treatment. There have been multiple meta-analyses of 27 randomized controlled trials showing ivermectin decreases risk of death by more than 80%.

Ivermectin is a safe medication and has been used in millions of people for 30 years now.

IVM appears to be very effective in preventing COVID19. 788 front line health workers in Argentina took it for 3 months and none of them got COVID19 compared to about 58% COVID infections in the group that didn't take IVM. It also reduces the severity of COVID 19 when taken in acute infection and reduces death from severe COVID19 by 85%. In one small study it was also 95% effective for long COVID symptoms.

FLCCC alliance scientific review paper.

The NIH just changed its official recommendation on ivermectin from “against” to “neither for nor against”, as of early 2021 this was the same NIH stance on commonly used therapies for COVID19 like convalescent plasma and monoclonal antibodies.

NIH COVID19 treatment guidelines:

According to the FDA it is allowed as an off-label drug. To those of us prescribing Ivermectin the chance it is not beneficial at all in COVID19 appears to be vanishingly small, one group estimated a 1 in 4 billion likelihood it doesn’t help at all.

Still studies may be published in the future with poor trial design that appear to discredit Ivermectin. It is also possible excellent quality studies are published in the future that prove Ivermectin doesn't work.

However Ivermectin does have a 30 year history of safe use in humans and the side effect profile appears mild for the most part, so we believe it is probably at least as safe as using over the counter painkillers for a headache (over the counter painkillers have been associated with some serious side effects like liver failure, heart failure and even heart attacks, but this has not outlawed their use so far).

Still when used on a new disease, side effects could be different than those recorded in the past. For example the most severe side effects of ivermectin in the past were only seen in the setting of treatment for a certain parasitic disease. The other possible side effect that has been seen in the past elevated liver function which could indicate liver damage, reported in 2% of patients. Safest route would be to get liver function tests done on a monthly basis, which we could order for you. There are a number of other more severe side effects seen less than 1% of the time. All that being said, regular Tylenol and Advil use has been shown to increase the risk of heart failure and death as well and those are available over the counter. So all medications do carry some risk that you should be aware of and in our judgement the risk is acceptable given the disease being prevented.

IVM Interactions and safe usage notes:

Alcohol can increase the blood levels of ivermectin, but it's unlikely to create any out and out toxicity if you don’t over do it. Using alcohol with Ivermectin may increase the risk of mild to moderate side effects. These are the common side effects reported with ivermectin in general: Cardiovascular: Tachycardia (4%), peripheral edema (3%), facial edema (1%), orthostatic hypotension (1%) Central nervous system: Dizziness (3%) Gastrointestinal: Diarrhea (2%), nausea (2%) Not to be used in pregnancy, or by those who might become pregnant - sexually active women should use contraception.

PRESCRIBING

I am prescribing Ivermectin EITHER for COVID19 treatment or prevention: a. For prevention: take twice 48 hours apart and then every week ongoing (the latest FLCCC prevention protocol at: covid19criticalcare.com). With this I will include 3 month supply of 14 doses.

b. For early treatment: 1 dose daily for 5 days then only stop if you have felt better for 48 hours, otherwise continue until feeling better for 48 hours. With this you will also get 14 doses, though most people only need 5 for a single infection.

I can’t guarantee your pharmacy will have your medication in stock and have no way of checking which pharmacies in your area have a supply on hand. Best to check with the pharmacies first, but you can easily transfer the prescription if needed.

Why 3 months only? Most ongoing meds are prescribed for 3 months at a time and then require a follow up appointment. This is not just so the doctor can charge again, but for your safety. With Ivermectin we have 30 years of safe use in all age groups, but only with single doses in the vast majority of cases, and hardly any experience with ongoing preventive dosing. Ivermectin can affect liver function in rare cases. So you need to follow up if you need a refill.

wow....effective!
