Yes there are cheaper alternatives to buying the durvet horse product on amazon. Ive tasted the 1.8% concentration paste. Its not horrendous. They flavor it so the horse wont spit it out. But I wouldnt say I like it.

Heartworm meds for dogs might have ivermectin or it might have a similar drug called milbemycin, which might have potential as an antiviral as well.

Unfortunately the IVM dose for the canine heartworm preventitive is really low — i think 6 -12 mcg/kg per dose compared with the recommended dose for covid, which might be 200-600mcg/kg per day for 5 days or more, meaning you’d have to take like a hundred doses a day made for a medium sized dog. They make the dose really low for dogs because some dogs (collie breeds) have a mutation that makes them extremely sensitive to IVM.

I think pyrantel is a pretty mild otc drug used for pinworms in kids. But you would want to try to get the stuff without the pyrantel if you could.

Anyway the dog stuff requires a script from the vet but the horse and cattle ivm products do not, in the US anyway.

There is an injectible form you can buy for cattle which has a slightly different concentration, but its cheaper than the horsepaste and can be taken orally rather than injected. I think its 1ml = 10mg if I remember correctly. I think its a good purchase for doomsday prepping. IVM should work on a lot of different viruses.

I did mad research on ivm last year.

just personal experience, on both fronts
