How is Ivermectin thought to work on COVID-19?

• For the SARS-CoV-2 virus to make you sick, it has to first infect your cells.
• Then while inside the cell, the virus makes heaps of copies of itself, so it can spread around your body.
• The virus also has ways of reducing the way your body fights the infection.
• During the infection of the cell, some viral proteins go into the cell nucleus, and from here they can decrease the body’s ability to fight the virus, which means the infection can get worse.
• To get into the nucleus the viral proteins need to bind a cargo transporter which lets them in.
• Ivermectin can block the cargo transporter, so the viral proteins can’t get into the nucleus. This is how the scientists believe Ivermectin works against SARS-CoV-2 virus.
• By taking Ivermectin, it means the body can fight the infection like normal, because its antiviral response hasn’t been reduced by the viral proteins.
