Ivermectin and COVID-19:
A report in Antiviral Research, widespread interest, an FDA warning, two letters to the editor and the authors' responses.

[Despite the authors' cautious conclusion that Ivermectin "warrants further investigation for possible benefits in humans," the paper has excited widespread interest on medical and veterinary websites, which often incorrectly describe the drug as a treatment or cure for COVID-19. These inappropriate statements led to a warning by the US FDA, that ivermectin in veterinary products should not be used for human therapy.]

Prevacid is horrible
 
I really think the drug (which Ive been on for 2 weeks) is causing anxiety. Im gonna stop.

Ask about Pepcid. It was much easier for me. No side-effects. It takes a bit longer to heal an ulcer but I healed up fine. I has acid inflaming up high.

As I do not have PCS knowledge, I am adding this on the understanding that those who do may have more info.

2 natural remedies for peptic ulcers are:
Mastic Gum (Gum Mastica) which apparently eradicates the H Pylori that causes these stomach ulcers
DGL-liquorice root (powder or tablets) which actively coats and heals the ulcers (Please note it must be the DGL = deglycyrrhizinated form of liquorice root as the other form can cause increased blood pressure!)

Unfortunatly Pepcid actually makes anxiety worse with heart palpitations. I almost feel like both of these drugs are affecting my brain. And its scary. Because I have to take one or the other to heal this damn ulcer.

Are the doctors sure you do not have an H-pylori infection ulcer and need the appropriate antibiotics.
