https://www.abc27.com/news/health/coronavirus/clinical-trial-testing-ivermectin-two-other-drugs-against-covid-open-for-signups/SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) A new clinical trial thats aimed at testing the effectiveness of three common drugs against COVID-19 is now open to all U.S. residents who have tested positive.
The study, conducted by the Duke Clinical Research Institute, is a nationwide double-blind study expected to enroll nearly 15,000 participants from across the United States and hopes to discover new COVID-19 treatments using already existing drugs.
The nationwide effort is called ACTIV-6 and is testing three drugs:
Fluticasone, also known as Flonase, a corticosteroid often used for asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease that is delivered via inhaler.
Fluvoxamine, an antidepressant in pill form.
Ivermectin, which is used to treat parasitic infections in both humans and livestock. (continues...)
You know they're going to use word of this to continue cleaning stores out of horse paste (along with cries of "SEE, WE WERE RIGHT!!!" )
