Anyone using eprinomectin for prostate cancer

I read it was a new drug with very few side effects.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

@tstump12, eprinomectin is a member of a family of drugs called avermectins. It is a derivative of ivermectin used in veterinary medicine to treat a variety of gastrointestinal roundworms in cattle and for topical use in horses and rabbits.

Researchers are studying eprinomectin as well as ivermectin to see if it may be used as an anti-cancer drug and early studies show promise. IMPORTANT: this research is in the early stages (laboratory cellular and mice studies) and has not yet been tested in human trials.

Ivermectin and eprinomectin are not proven standard treatments for prostate cancer.

Have you talked to your oncologist about the use of eprinomectin?

I had a prostectomy one year ago. Gleason is 4+4 and psa is still reading .05 and I am 79 years old. Any advice on proton therapy vs drugs would be appreciated also.

Yoru PSA is still very very low . Hang in there . Plenty of treatments for you . Talk to your Urologist first ( Uro) and also get and appointment for a very good RO - Radiation Oncologist . Two heads are better than one ! At 0.05 I wonder if you have some cells stuck to your bladder ? This can happen often . Many times they are not even cancerous ! Go to the URO and RO - have a sit down with them both . Let me know what they say ...im interested Sir ! God Bless Sir . James from Vancouver Island .
