Ivermectin Dosing and Anti-Cancer Effects
The typical dose of ivermectin to treat parasites is about 0.15 to 0.2 mg per kg, but the concerning dose by poison control is 140 mg or higher. Ivermectin has not been extensively studied for long-term use as it's usually given as a one-time dose up to one week. Research shows that ivermectin has anti-cancer effects by inhibiting cancer cell growth and spread, promoting cancer cell death through apoptosis, autophagy, and pyroptosis, inhibiting cancer stem cells, and reversing drug resistance in cancer cells.
