    Not FDA approved to treat Covid.

    Doesn’t have to be, that’s what off label use is, and there was no such thing as FDA approved meds to treat COVID then, nice try LOL.

    Showing a picture of one that’s sold at Tractor Supply FOR horses, in no way changes the FACT that Ivermectin is an FDA Approved Human use drug.

    Ibuprofen is approved for infants, but that doesn’t mean you can give an infant the same ibuprofen you take.

    Actually you can, if you’re capable of adjusting the dosage correctly, as it’s the exact same drug.

      Same drug, different concentrations. I can do math, but the types to steal horse dewormer tend to have trouble with things like fractions. Also, human ivermectin isn’t generally administered in a paste via syringe.

      Listen, you can argue this point until you’re blue in the face. It won’t change the fact that people are stealing a compound specifically manufactured for use in treating horses for worms.
