Not totally Q related, but it is a part of cures. Mrs anon is 6 weeks pregnant, and coming down with something. We have both just used ivermectin, is this safe first trimester? Little worried.

Not a doctor but the Lancet and NIH articles I found indicate it's not sufficiently known what pregnancy risks exist so it is not indicated for use by pregnant women.
Which squares with what I know of the mechanism by which it works against viruses; it blocks importation across the nucleus wall by affecting importin alpha and beta proteins.
It would seem that there are many things that might need to cross between nuclei in a pregnant woman and her developing baby so I would say don't chance it.
Use the quercetin zinc Zelenko protocol instead, seems perhaps safer
Thanks. No azithromycin available, might have to old school chicken noodle soup it.
Thanks everyone. Can’t speak to doctors about such things around these parts.
I would not take an antibiotic like azithromycin or high dose zinc or quercitin during first trimester. Most major organ systems are being formed now.
I wouldn't take ivermectin either really. Ride it out. Rest, sit outside in the sun, vit c (orange juice, grapefruit). I don’t want to add anything to the system first trimester. We were designed to handle getting sick—
But by all means take that EUA mystery shot! No problem (Sarcasm!)
Congratulations!
The azithromycin is just another anti inflammatory, I don't know really what else it does against viral infections. There are studies showing that covid can infect gut bacteria so the azithro helps with that I guess.
Don't forget this is some watered down variant now, not OG covid which was a lot stronger.
