Executive Summary

• The pricing of Ivermectin varies a great deal. And we cover other factors to consider when regarding how to get Ivermectin.

Article Summary

This article covers the options for how to get Ivermectin, we perform a pricing analysis of options for Ivermectin, and then we provide a table where these options can be compared. Finally, we address the issue that much of the Ivermectin that is reasonably priced is made in countries that lack quality control or regulation of their factories — and then provide our recommended source for how to get Ivermectin.

Introduction

One of the common questions we get regarding Ivermectin is how to get Ivermectin. We will compare several options and then provide our recommendation.

Honey Bee Health is one of the best online pharmacies. It was profiled on Consumer Reports and had one of the lowest drug prices of the different pharmacies.

Let us review a few screenshots of their website for purchasing Ivermectin.

Pricing Analysis and Finding Lower Cost Sources for Ivermectin

Looking at the Honey Bee Health online pharmacy, I noted that there is not much discount for buying large quantities of Ivermectin. This issue generalizes to other online pharmacies when buying Stromectol or Ivermectin.

Pricing Example #1: 3 MG for 200 Tablets = $806

That calculates to $1.33 per MG, which is quite expensive. The problem is that while HoneyBee is a quality pharmacy and Edenbridge is a quality manufacturer producing in the US, the cost of the Ivermectin will undoubtedly add up. Also, 12 MG tablets are a more economical unit to purchase Ivermectin.

Let us look at another drug on Honey Bee Health for comparison purposes.

Comparing the Price of Generic Zoloft to Generic Ivermectin

This is Honey Bee Health’s pricing for Zoloft. Don’t take Zoloft as a terrible drug, but the purpose of analyzing the price here is only to check the price. T

This is the generic version of Zoloft. A typical dosage for Zoloft is between 50 and 100 mg. However, Zoloft, through Honey Bee Health, is only $21 for 270 tablets of 50 MG. This would last between 270 and 135 days (if the person took 100 MG daily). That is far lower than the cost of Ivermectin. This price is too low, and drugs sold at such a low price invariably have quality problems. Secondly, the manufacturer is in India and is Aurobindo. I recognize this manufacturer as they have been repeatedly caught engaging in manufacturing fraud. It would be a terrible idea for anyone using prescription Zoloft to use the Aurobindo version of Zoloft. Anti-depressants change brain chemistry, and coming off of anti-depressants (which moving to Aurobindo’s generic might be or might partially be) would be a severe problem for the depressed patient. As Ivermectin is generic, any pharmaceutical manufacturer can make it; the natural question is, why is it so expensive? Well, most of the manufacturing of generic Ivermectin is in India, and there are few manufacturers outside of India.

This creates a two-tiered market — where while there may be a lot of competition for people who want to take a chance on Indian-manufactured Ivermectin or who don’t know that Indian drug manufacturing has endemic quality problems, there is little competition for people who wish non-Indian manufactured Ivermectin. Naturally, the issue is resolved if you can get your healthcare provider to cover the cost of Ivermectin under a prescription for an antiparasitic. However, a lot of people cannot.

This brings up the topic of if one is going to use a drug made in India, it will not be tested in any way — so in the US the FDA occasionally sends investigators to Indian factories, however, the FDA runs what are more mock inspections. The FDA has a very small number of inspectors in India — and the Indian authorities also do nothing to ensure quality or safety.

Pricing Example #2: 3 MG for 200 Tablets = $806

Merck Branded Ivermectin

Merck was the original manufacturer of Ivermectin. However, it is rare today to come across Ivermecting made by Merck. I was able to find some at MailOrderMeds, which is a high-quality Canadian pharmacy that has CIPA certification – only 63 pharmacies in Canada have this certification.

Once a cost comparison is performed, it becomes apparent why Merck’s original formula Ivermectin is so rarely seen. And in case you were wondering, you can spend several thousand dollars buying larger quantities of Ivermectin at this site and still get no price break. It is even more amusing to see that the product is currently back-ordered. Is this due to demand, or due to such a small quantity of this Merck formulation being made due to the very high price? 

The Comprehensive Cost Comparison Matrix

The Cost Comparison Matrix below makes it easy to see how the costs compare in an easy-to-read format. We have taken all the different purchase units and normalized them to a single value — price per MG –the column on the far right of the table. And it continues. I wouldn’t say I like pharmacies that do not publish the country of manufacture and the manufacturer’s name. Huge well-known pharmacies will leave out this information from their websites.  One of the major issues with drug sourcing is that so many pharmacies do not state where drugs are made.

The Lack of Transparency in Manufacturing Locations

This quote is from Katherine Evan, the author of the book Bottle of Lies, from the article How Poor Oversight and Fraud in Generic Drug Industry Threatens Patients’ Health.

So, 90% of our drug supply is generic. The majority of those drugs come from overseas. Forty percent alone of all of our generics are manufactured in India. And if you go to a pharmacy, you will automatically be switched to a generic drug if one is available. What’s interesting to me is, even though the name of the manufacturer will be on the label, consumers will not have information about where those drugs are manufactured. So, for the U.S. consumer, they’re getting less information about where their drugs are made than where their cereal is made, where their shirt is manufactured. That information is simply not available, and you have to be, unfortunately, an investigative journalist to figure out where those drugs are manufactured.

I have found this numerous times when checking to source at online pharmacies that the county of manufacture was left out of the description.

Manufacturing Country and Price Problem

The problem from the source analysis is immediately apparent. The US sources for Ivermectin are expensive. And the other sources of Ivermectin are all from India, and are of unknown quality unless individually tested. This issue is a problem across pharmaceuticals. The problem is that the governments are not regulating the manufacturers, so good options are available for the public. This would be easy to do, but the US regulatory bodies are not interested in doing it. Remember, Ivermectin undermines more expensive drugs, so the medical establishment and profit incentives are already pushing against it. While those who seek Ivermectin might be puzzled by the cost comparison and source comparison matrix above, this matrix makes specific pharmaceutical companies smile. There is no price control in the US for drugs. It is preferable if you can afford the US, UK, New Zealand, or German-manufactured Ivermectin, but realistically, the prices are too high for these sources. This means the pricing market for Ivermectin is bifurcated — between high and low-cost sources. Ivermectin is a generic drug; it is very problematic that the costs from countries known for high-quality manufacturing are so high. Indian authorities do not regulate manufacturing plants in India and are barely restrained by the FDA.
