You've got far more faith in people than I do...

Ivermectin.

It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines

Yep - that was a common talking point for the morons - that's not descriptive of you though, is it?

The horse paste form? For use as an antiviral?

Thought not.

The horse paste form?

Other than dosing concerns, it's the same drug. If you needed ivermectin and for some reason you couldn't get it in pill form from a pharmacy (such as a natural disaster) it's a workable source. Likewise for things like antibiotics. Just remember that drugs are dosed by weight and different species have different doses by weight so you're going to have to do some math to convert from horse doses to human doses.

For use as an antiviral?

Yeah, never understood why the weirdos landed on an antiparasitic for their quack antiviral. It gets used in humans pretty often for things like scabies and worms though..
