I have no experience on this subject nor of this drug but i found it interesting that this medication is used for river blindness, as is Ivermectin, i wonder if they work through the same pathways and would have similar results?
Good question. I wouldn't advocate using it like Ivermectin unless and until it's known to be safe and effective. The important thing is the DS has hidden it from the public, and kept it from being researched as a therapeutic.
Clearly there's no pocket filling money in old meds.
He (or she) was saying not to use the other drugs like Ivermectin because ivermectin has a long history of studies dating back to the 90’s whereas this other drug a was only studied in very few cases where it’s hard to know if it actually works. Hopefully it does work just as well.

I'll advocate using IVM due to its statistically small amount of side affects vs the odds of success?

Yup
I thought the same thing when I read that about river blindness.
