I got this from Dr Rev or one of the others on here. I am not a doctor nor am I offering medical advice - just sharing what we took and I believe made our cases so mild.
Get to feeling better!

Take ivermectin. There is very "solid" evidence that it works.
I take it every two weeks for prevention in case a variant comes along that my Moderna vaccine can't handle
I also take dr rev's cocktail.

Are you a MD? Seems like according to your profile you're a psychiatrist

Gotcha. So this seems bad that a psychiatrist would be offering advice for COVID. It's not like I'd seek the same for lady problems.

Thank you for your well wishes. My wife and son have recovered thankfully.The Big12Ag said:Just to be clear:mrmill3218 said:

1) Your wife and child came down with Covid nearly a week and a half ago. Received positive tests.
2) You started feeling bad Saturday night.
3) You waited until you received a positive test result today before asking what one should take if they have Covid
Hope your wife and kid recovered well and best wishes to you

Most docs aren't recommending ivermectin anymore. All of the studies about it are bunked now. That was the only reason why I asked

Your friend prescribed it to him...and told you about it?

My doctor isn't. Lots of them aren't especially since that last study was debunked.

And it sounds like what your spouting is old, disproven evidence.

"Ivermectin is highly safe, widely available, and low cost," Kory said in the Senate meeting. "We now have data from over 20 well-designed clinical studies, 10 of them randomized, controlled trials, with every study consistently reporting large magnitude and statistically significant benefits in decreasing transmission rates, shortening recovery times, decreasing hospitalizations, or large reductions in deaths. These data show that ivermectin is effectively a 'miracle drug' against COVID-19."
During his testimony, Kory referred to a paper he authored -- Review of the Emerging Evidence Demonstrating the Efficacy of Ivermectin in the Prophylaxis and Treatment of COVID-19 -- that was published in the May edition of the American Journal of Therapeutics.
The paper was also included in the Frontiers of Pharmacology journal in January but was then removed in March. Dr. Frederick Fenter, chief executive editor of the journal, said the paper was removed due to "strong, unsupported claims based on studies with insufficient statistical significance, and at times, without the use of control groups." Fender also said the authors promoted their own specific ivermectin-based treatment, which goes against editorial policies.
A study listed in Kory's paper involved giving ivermectin to 234 uninfected health care workers in Argentina and found those who received the drug were far less likely to be diagnosed with COVID. For mildly ill patients, an Iraq study saw a quicker recovery time.
There are also studies that show otherwise. A clinical trial of 476 patients found ivermectin didn't improve the recovery time in patients who had COVID-19. A review of 10 random clinical trials, with more than 1,000 participants, also didn't find improvements with ivermectin. One Egyptian study claimed to show positive results, but it's since been redacted over ethical concerns.
Merck, the company that discovered ivermectin, released a statement in February saying there was "no scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect against COVID-19 from pre-clinical studies" and "no meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with COVID-19 disease." It also cited a lack of safety data from major studies.
