Abstract: 

The existing evidence regarding the use of Ivermectin in COVID-19 is reviewed. A report is also made of the cases treated at the local level.


A study recently published in the journal Antiviral Research obtained participants from 169 hospitals around the world, this study includes a high number of patients treated with Ivermectin: 704 and their corresponding 704 controls. The study results indicate that the case fatality rate in patients who used Ivermectin was 6.1 times less compared to patients who did not use Ivermectin (1.4 vs. 8.5%, p <0.0001).


In the Dominican Republic, the Pulmonologist J. Tavares reports that he is treating 247 patients with Ivermectin with a favorable response in all cases and has not reported any fatal cases.


Similarly, at the local level, although to date there are not many documented cases, the case fatality rate has been 0% and it is also observed that in 100% of the cases treated with Ivermectin there is an improvement in the illness and resolution of fever within 48 hours of starting treatment.

A new therapeutic scheme is presented according to the degree of severity and response to treatment, prepared based on the experience of patients treated locally. In the final part, an evaluation of the Risk-Benefit of the use of Ivermectin is made, the conclusion is given that, since there is practically no risk in its use, it is recommended to formalize its inclusion in the first line of therapeutic action for COVID-19.

Finally, Recommendations are given mainly related to the supply in Health Establishments throughout the country.

"Ivermectin’s key direct target in mammalian cells is a not a viral component, but a host protein important in intracellular transport (Yang et al., 2020); the fact that it is a host-directed agent (HDA) is almost certainly the basis of its broad-spectrum activity against a number of different RNA viruses in vitro (Tay et al., 2013; Yang et al., 2020). The way a HDA can reduce viral load is by inhibiting a key cellular process that the virus hijacks to enhance infection by suppressing the host antiviral response. Reducing viral load by even a modest amount by using a HDA at low dose early in infection can be the key to enabling the body’s immune system to begin to mount the full antiviral response before the infection takes control."

Antiviral: "Ivermectin has also been demonstrated to be a potent broad-
spectrum specific inhibitor of importin α/β-mediated nuclear trans-
port and demonstrates antiviral activity against several RNA viruses by
blocking the nuclear trafficking of viral proteins. It has been shown to
have potent antiviral action against HIV-1 and dengue viruses, both of
which are dependent on the importin protein superfamily for several
key cellular processes. Ivermectin may be of import in disrupting
HIV-1 integrase in HIV-1 as well as NS-5 (non-structural protein 5)
polymerase in dengue viruses"
