To persuade a Dr. to prescribe ivermectin for the off-label use, you may need to persuade the Doctor it is a “medically appropriate” use. I got an off label prescription from my primary care Dr. to prevent my contracting the virus (or to diminish the severity of the symptomsj by pointing to pp. 7-10 of the FLCC prophylaxis paper, reminding him that I have some scar tissue in my lungs, telling him about two close co-workers who are vulnerable that I need to protect, and promising to behave myself. I also let him know I had been watching these reports primarily because I used ivermectin for yers on my horses, which I thought might give him some reassurance that I was not obsessing unhealthily.
I got it with an e-mail, but I’d been there for a check-up about five weeks ago. If I read between the lines of his response, he’ll be taking it himself.
Read pp. 7-10 on the prophylaxis review if you think it might be worth taking it to prevent infection.
