Ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses for some parasitic worms, and there are topical (on the skin) formulations for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. The FDA says Ivermectin is not an anti-viral (a drug for treating viruses).

Researchers are studying Ivermectin to see if it may be used as an anti-cancer drug and early studies show promise. Please note that this research is in the early stages (mice studies) and has not gone yet been tested in human trials.

@manorbier, being treated for lung cancer and MAC, you should talk to your oncologist and pulmonologist before taking any drugs, especially drugs not originally intended for humans.
