If I could please ask you a question, can a breastfeeding mother take ivermectin? Thank you!

Ivermectin has long been considered one of the safest drugs in use. It is known to be safer than aspirin. The safety studies decades ago showed no deaths even in toddlers or breastfeeding moms or pregnant women. I personally would not exclude a breastfeeding mom from a prescription on that basis.

For more information, the chapter on ivermectin in my book The Defeat Of COVID not only gives safety data, as does c19ivermectin.com, but I also show mechanisms of how ivermectin works against COVID, which is not frequently discussed.

Thank you! It's not a relative of aspirin, is it? This particular mom is allergic to aspirin. If you can't answer such a specific question, I understand. I'll check out your book as soon as I can.

No, not a relative of aspirin, which is derived from white willow tree, Salix alba. Ivermectin is from avermitilis. Totally different; I was just giving an often-mentioned safety comparison.
