Pfizer claiming to have an 89% effective covid antiviral

[Jam]

Ritonavir is used in combo with other drugs because it inhibits a liver enzyme responsible for metabolizing numerous pharmaceuticals. That allows lower doses of the active drug to be used because it stays in the body longer.

That's not his point. See his reply:

OK, whatever. I'm not that into it to scrutinize his reasoning, He may know what he's talking about, or may not. They may be using RTV for it's antiviral properties (what it was originally designed for), but from what I've read "ritonavir is currently exclusively used as a pharmacokinetic enhancer of other protease inhibitors, predominantly due to ritonavir's potent inhibition of the cytochrome P450 3A4 isoenzyme."

Ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitors in HIV therapy - PubMed

The advent of combination antiretroviral therapy has led to significant improvement in the care of HIV-infected patients. Originally designed as a protease inhibitor (PI), ritonavir is currently exclusively used as a pharmacokinetic enhancer of other protease inhibitors, predominantly due to...

It doesn't really matter. A protease inhibitor is a protease inhibitor. My original comment was simply to be informative and show how their concotions can cause unforeseen problems.

It’s significantly different from Ivermectin in terms of atomic structure. Nonetheless, it does the same thing…it’s a protease inhibitor. Same function, same effect.

Dr. Peter McCollough says this drug has only one area of action - but IVM has three areas of action which is way better. Somewhere in this interview - excuse me, not sure where:

Strange - double post. Ignore.

Indeed. Quite an interesting drug, and I'm not into drugs at all. Has high binding affinity to the TMPRSS2 protein, inhibits STAT-3 (cytokine storm), increases mitochondrial ATP production and maintains mitochondrial ATP under hypoxic conditions, among other things

Hey thanks for that article.

No Need to Wait for Big Pharma’s Anti-Covid Protease-Inhibiting Drug

He mentions natural non-drug protease inhibitors.
