Melbourne GP Mark Hobart says it is worth giving Ivermectin triple therapy as a treatment for COVID-19 patients because it’s a harmless medication, it’s shown a great deal of promise, and otherwise the patient will receive no treatment. Gastroenterologist Professor Thomas Borody says the combination of the combination of Ivermectin, Doxycycline and zinc has shown to be almost 100 per cent effective as a treatment for COVID-19 based on the findings of six publications. Mr Hobart said he had seen good clinical effects from using the three “completely harmless” drugs suggested by Dr Borody, adding the drugs were very effective if given early on. He mentioned there was no formal resistance but also no encouragement for their use from Australian medical authorities. “You would think one would encourage a treatment like this, because the alternative is no treatment at the present time,” he said.
