SHARKMAN - thank you for your reply. The original ivermectin I was taking was in capsule form from a compound pharmacy so could not be chewed. I never would have thought these small tablets from ADC would need to be chewed but they showed up almost whole in the toilet so clearly I'm not absorbing them. Do you mean that if they were real ivermectin they would not be able to make it through my digestive tract intact? I thought all day chemist had a good reputation? Would you share where you sourced your ivermectin from? I know many people take the horse paste but I'm hesitant and don't quite understand the dosing for 12mg of ivermectin. Thanks
