Like Paxlovid, IVM works best if you take it within 4 days of symptoms. The study for Paxlovid treated people within 2 days of symptoms (on average, I think). Most IVM studies average at about 14 days past the onset of symptoms, which I consider to be scientific misconduct given that antivirals need to be given when there is viral replication occurring. IVM taken past 4 days is no longer an antiviral treatment. It may be treating inflammation at that point, but it is not the best treatment for inflammation.
