Mebendazole and ivermectin combined to 275mg? The typical ivermectin dose alone is .2mg/kg, so a 180lb/81.5kg person would only take 16-ish mg. So this person took way more ivermectin than needed for a parasitic infection (and stupid for taking it without one). Mebebdazole is 100mg/x2 a day, so this is more than double the dose for a single recommended pill.

Just in case anyone wants to know how much not to take.

    i think ever since covid ivermectin has become a magical cureall for idiots, and the more the betterer as far as the dosage goes.

    It's also a human dewormer, or many other kinds of parasite. At proper dosage it's generally a very safe drug. Two things.

    1. Ivermectin is a drug that costs cents to make 100s of pills. If you're paying $500 for a bottle... They saw you coming.
    2. Don't buy medications from scammers. See point 1.
