The Scientific American calls the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) a fringe doctor’s group. FLCCC and others like them are encouraging and enabling people to take the drug off-label to treat or prevent COVID—despite a lack of solid evidence that it works against the disease and the fact that high doses can be harmful. In doing so, some experts believe these groups are undermining vaccination efforts. reliable safety data on the prolonged courses being recommended currently or in patients taking ivermectin while suffering from COVID-19 and all the immune and metabolic changes associated with this disease.”

Safety of high-dose ivermectin: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Results: The systematic search identified six studies for inclusion, revealing no differences in the number of individuals experiencing adverse events. A descriptive analysis of these clinical trials for a variety of indications showed no difference in the severity of the adverse events between standard (up to 400 μg/kg) and higher doses of ivermectin.

Organ system involvement only showed an increase in ocular events in the higher-dose group in one trial for the treatment of onchocerciasis, all of them transient and mild to moderate in intensity.
