“Medications for covid?”
I’ve been taking HCQ for a couple of months and I’m having CoVid symptoms: very bad headache and nausea. Can I take Ivermectin too?

Neither hydroxychloroquine nor ivermectin are effective to treat COVID-19. In fact the FDA and CDC has warned against using these medicines off-label for COVID-19 treatment and taking these can be associated with serious health consequences.

Good day to you, thanks for your query.
My very strong advice is to go to your physician, because the condition of your health needs a very thorough medical evaluation. Please do not play with your health and life.
Good luck and stay safe!

Thanks for the question.
Hydroxychloroquine is proven to have no effect on Covid, and may have long-term side effects. Ivermectin does not treat the virus, but may inhibit the body's severe response to the virus. Studies are equivocal, because the effect requires potentially toxic doses of the drug. I do not recommend it.
