*, now known with p < 0.00000000001 from 101 studies, recognized in 22 countries.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine complementary and synergistic treatments. * >10% efficacy in meta analysis with ≥3 clinical studies.

Meta analysis confirming the effectiveness of ivermectin for COVID-19, showing ivermectin treatment mortality relative risk RR 0.17 [0.18-0.35] and prophylaxis cases RR 0.12 [0.08-0.18].
7 meta analyses show significant improvements with ivermectin for mortality Bryant, Hariyanto, Kory, Lawrie, Nardelli, Zein, hospitalization Schwartz, recovery Kory, and cases Kory.
Currently there are 101 ivermectin for COVID-19 studies, showing 49% lower mortality [35‑60%], 29% lower ventilation [12‑42%], 35% lower ICU admission [7‑54%], 34% lower hospitalization [20‑45%], and 81% fewer cases [71‑87%].
risk of death, 83.0% lower, RR 0.17, p < 0.001, treatment 8 of 585 (1.4%), control 44 of 522 (8.4%), NNT 14.

URGENT COVID-19 information: Ivermectin reduces the risk of death from COVID-19 -a rapid review and meta-analysis in support of the recommendation of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance
PhD Tess Lawrie Mbbch
Background to this rapid review Recently a group of expert critical care physicians, called the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), reviewed the evidence on the effects of ivermectin on SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 infections. 1 They concluded that the evidence on ivermectin "demonstrates a strong signal of therapeutic efficacy" and recommended that ivermectin is adopted globally and systematically for the prophylaxis and treatment of COVID-19. 1 Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic medication widely used in low-and middle-income countries to treat parasitic worm infections in adults and children. 1, 2 Having been used for decades for this purpose, it is considered extremely safe and effective 2,3 and has an increasing list of indications due to its antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. 4 On the WHO's Model List of Essential Medicines it is retained in the form of a 3 mg tablet. 5 For parasitic infections in adults, ivermectin is commonly administered as a single 12 mg oral dose (0.2mg/kg). The FLCCC review summarizes the findings of 27 studies evaluating ivermectin for prophylaxis and treatment of COVID-19 infection; however, it does not include metaanalyses for the majority of outcomes. The FLCCC has called upon national and international
Author statement I take full responsibility for the scientific integrity of this urgent evidence synthesis. The evidence derived from the studies included in the FLCCC review is sufficient to support a strong recommendation on ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19. Due to the urgency and imperative to communicate this critical information to health professionals, and in the context of the probable effect size of ivermectin on COVID-19 deaths revealed by this meta-analysis, additional exploratory analyses (for example looking at the effect of co-administration of doxycycline) have not been conducted. Neither have I sought unpublished data from the numerous ongoing trials of ivermectin on clinical trial registries. It is my hope that both health professionals and policy makers now respond to this information with the required urgency, so that critical time in saving lives is not wasted.
