Quote:Ivermectin is most commonly used as a heartworm preventive in dogs and cats. It also used 'off label' or 'extra-label' for treating a variety of internal and external parasites. For example, in dogs, ivermectin may be used in the treatment of mites (demodectic mange, scabies, and ear mites), intestinal parasites (hookworms, roundworms), and capillaria. In cats, ivermectin may be used to treat ear mites and cat scabies.
What any of that has to do with a virus is beyond me.
Not Invermectin per se, but other formulations are finding utility in the fight. A serendipitous (scientific) find-
Salicylanilides
