Remdesivir-ivermectin combination displays synergistic interaction with improved in vitro activity against SARS-CoV-2
et al., International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, doi:10.1016/j.ijantimicag.2022.106542, Dec 2020 (preprint)
In vitro study showing enhanced antiviral activity of ivermectin and remdesivir in combination.
Gérard, Zhou, Wu, Kamo, Choi, Kim show increased risk of acute kidney injury, Leo, Briciu, Muntean, Petrov show increased risk of liver injury, and Negru, Cheng, Mohammed show increased risk of cardiac disorders with remdesivir.
Study covers ivermectin and remdesivir.
