I would think that Ivermectin is as effective with that virus as it is with others.

Noroviruses constitute a major genus in the family Caliciviridae, which contains icosahedral viruses with positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome. From what I could find, it does not appear similar to coronaviruses – so using ivermectin may not work.

When it comes to treatments for norovirus, the need may not be as urgent, since most people recover from the symptoms in 48 to 72 hours—so antiviral development isn’t as robust.

Doctors advise people to drink plenty of liquids, since vomiting and diarrhea and lead to dehydration. In some cases, they may recommend anti-nausea medications to ease symptoms.

One year, Norovirus hit our town of 5000 people. Someone brought it home from a cruise ship. It spread so fast, I couldn’t see an antiviral having time to work. As someone else stated, dehydration is the biggest concern.

I know it’s typically short-lived and that many are getting hydration packs on the campus as needed or going to the ER for IV hydration. Wondering if prophylactic dose of IVM would add any benefit if someone is already on it for CV protection but if it an is entirely different type of virus maybe it would not help.

Thanks, everyone!
