yes it’s metabolizede by a certain enzyme i forgot what the number right now P something I think. Milk thistle is known to interfere with that liver enzyme, I think it could actually cause the ivermectin to be retained in the system longer than it would otherwise. I’ll have to look back into that, when I get a chance. and also find the actual normal 1/2 life of ivermectin in the body again. I’m thinking off the top of my head it’s more than 90% gone after 2 days. I think I wouldn’t want to give milk thistle too early.

There’s also a number of other drugs it interferes with the normal metabolism.
