Brief Summary  

This aims of this study is to validate the antivirus effectiveness of Ivermectin as prophylaxis in combating COVID 19 pandemics.

 

At present, there are no specific treatments for COVID-19. Ivermectin, an FDA-approved anti-parasitic previously shown to have broad-spectrum anti-viral activity in vitro, is an inhibitor of the causative virus (SARS-CoV-2), with a single addition to Vero-hSLAM cells 2 hours post infection with SARSCoV-2 able to affect about 5000-fold reduction in viral RNA at 48 h. Ivermectin is a CDSCO approved drug.
