My mother is in the hospital. She is on a vent but its not covid related. She has cancer that was pushing on her right lung and they gave her emergency chemo to try and shrink the tumor enough to open the lung back up. Well the chemo worked as i tended but as her one lung wasnt strong enough to breath on its own they had to vent her. She developed serious pneumonia in the good lung and they are now saying she has no chance to get over the pneumonia. Does ivermectin have any use on pneumonia if its not covid related? If so any dosage information would be appreciated. I know its probably far too late but im desperate

I don't know if you have any way of administration. Is she conscious and able to swallow. I'd do anything to save a loved one, and I don't know how it could hurt anything.
I can administer it I just don't know what the max safe dose is. I doubt the normal rate will work since it's so severe and we are low on time
Everything I have read on invermectin has said that a large dose is not a problem and it wasn't a problem for me.
I take horse paste and once I didn't set the measurement correctly. I pumped half a tube into my mouth. No way I was going to waste it so I swallowed it, no problems at all.
I weigh 140, the amount I took would be equal to the amount for 1000 lbs. Not a doctor :)
You can look it up. Just match it by pounds, ivermectin has a big lethal dose. You would have to give someone five whole tubes of the stuff at the feed store. If you can talk or communicate with her and she can take it, I'd try it. The best way I have taken it is a small amount of orange juice and put the medicine in it and just drink it like a shot.
