How does ivermectin work?
Ivermectin has a wide spectrum of antiparasitic action, but the mechanism of action on SARS-CoV-2 is not fully understood. The drug binds to specific receptors that are located on the surface of coronavirus cells, which leads to disruption of nerve impulse transmission processes and disruption of the functioning of the virus.
A study published in the Chinese scientific journal Clinical Drug Investigation reports the use of Ivermectin in 27 cases of severe COVID-19 in patients aged 33 to 85 years. As a result, 20 out of 27 patients (74%) had a significant improvement in their condition. In two patients, the condition remained unchanged. Three patients had a worsening of the condition. The authors of the study explain that this result indicates that Ivermectin may be effective for the treatment of severe forms of COVID-19, but additional studies are needed to confirm the results.
The study is published in the journal Clinical Drug Investigation. April 29, 2020. doi:10.1177/0928029620916900.
