Ivermectin has been studied in late stage/severe COVID-19 in at least 2 studies with positive results. Previous studies on Ivermectin though primarily focused on it’s potential anti-viral activity, which would not explain why this medication may work during the inflammatory phase of COVID-19. Here, will we discuss research done previously showing Ivermectin may have some immunosuppressive effects that may decrease inflammatory phase of COVID-19.
Ivermectin was studied over the previous 2 decades for it’s role in the immune system. Specifically, researchers have found that Ivermectin seems to inhibit the hyper-inflammatory response that can be seen after exposure to certain bacterial antigens/parts called lipopolysaccharides. They found that Ivermectin significantly decreased mortality in mice with down-regulation of cytokine release, inhibition of cytokine production, and decreased stimulation of the adaptive immune response. Could this be happening in late stage COVID-19 treated with Ivermectin in these studies? Check out the video for a discussion on all of this and more!
