What is the dose needed to treated to COVID. I'm assuming it would have to be continued for at least 5 days and dosed multiple times daily. Normally ivermectin is dosed as a single dose 0.2mg/kg (so 14mg for an average 70kg person) for treating, say scabies.
This episode [0] of "This Week In Virology" describes in detail the pharmacokinetics of Ivermectin and the issues with this study.
