According to a recent article in the Daily Mail, researchers from the University of Chicago are reporting that Masitinib, a cheap drug costing around US$3 per pill, may be an effective way of treating people who have COVID.
During laboratory testing, the researchers found that the inexpensive drug actually stopped the COVID virus from replicating, which is the essentially how the virus causes us to get sick.
It was even shown to be effective against the COVID variants.
There is only one catch, though, the drug is used to treat cancer in dogs and has not been approved for human use.
The discovery is part of research that scientists are conducting on Masitinib, as they believe it may also be an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s, skin cancer and perhaps even multiple sclerosis.
WARNING UPDATE: Though several studies suggest Ivermectin may be an effective treatment for COVID, there is increasing evidence that people are self-medicating with the drug, overdosing and poisoning themselves. This is a drug, and it should not be taken without a doctor’s prescription.

This is not the first time a drug, made for animals, ended up being an effective medicine for people.
Ivermectin started off as a treatment for parasites in animals and was eventually approved for human use, where it is often prescribed for parasites and tropical diseases. Ivermectin has been used for years.
And recent studies are indicating that Ivermectin may also be effective in combatting COVID.
