I have had direct communication with Fortune Healthcare, and they private label ivermectin-12 tablets for other marketers. I’ve also seen the COAs for those other generic brands, both Fortune Healthcare internal COAs, and third party COAs. Most of the brands look identical, but not every one. Because of counterfeiters in India, I don’t know how the analytical labs in Australia can know whether they are testing a legitimate Fortune Healthcare product (eg., IverGuard, Iverhuman, Ivervid) or a Chinese knockoff.
I find your lack of a reply to tblueii in that thread concerning.
Hold on. This is malinformation from the TGA. Think about it. About 50% (x) of ALL manufactured pharmaceuticals manufactured per GMP will contain less than the stated amount of the active pharmaceutical ingredient. (The other ~50% (1-x) contain more. Basic math.)
The TGA did NOT say how much less. Perhaps 10%. 1%. 0.01%.
**The TGA did NOT say with any specificity where they got them - just ‘overseas’! **And they ~bar domestic pharmacy provision.
And the photos they provide are such a pile of you can’t read most of the info -

**Does Australia have a FOIA law that could force them to disclose the specifics behind their “no changes in quality” etc, claims? **
The way I see it, Ivermectin is so cheap to manufacture it doesn’t make sense to torpedo a brand to save a couple cents a pill, so I’m not surprised they found all the pills DID indeed contain ivermectin. So they spun the results, for obvious reasons.
“Malinformation refers to information that is based on facts but is used out of context to cause harm or manipulate. It involves twisting or exaggerating truthful information to provoke outrage, fear, or damage someone’s reputation.” Exactly.

Heck, the famhp also says on the cited page, “there is no clinical evidence to confirm that ivermectin is an effective treatment of COVID-19.” And we all know the truth value of that, right?
Thanks Elvey, exactly why this forum is here - an exchange of views and info. Much obliged.
Thanks, Elvey, good observations.
TrustPilot rates 1mg.com at a whopping 1.3. Can’t get much lower than that.
Correct! The TGA is obfuscating (the old “sin by omission”). Brightworks Research posted this article blasting the TGA for omitting key facts. A slightly lower amount of Ivermectin compared to the gold-standard (Merck) brand does not make something “counterfeit”. That is like saying one can only buy a Ford motor car as the standard, and ANY other motor car brand will be labeled “counterfeit”. OTHER interesting points in the Brightworks article are interesting:
-
80% of ALL pharma RAW materials come from CHINA (including Ivermectin).
-
An Indian “Brand” is NOT the same meaning as in the West!!! ANY Indian manufacturer can put ANY name that want on ANY pharma product they make. BRAND NAMES ARE NOT TRADEMARKED (protected) IN INDIA. You literally do not know what you are getting unless you buy direct from the manufacturer.
I have been using this. has anyone had any experience with it? I assume it’s legit because it would probably be more expensive to create a counterfeit product with all the proper boxing, printing and blister packs.
I just got into an interesting discussion with buyivermectin.24
they sell Iverheal which was one of the brands found by the Australian regulatory agency to be counterfeit. buyivermectin.24 said it was simple lower ivermectin then labeled 80 percent rather then 90 percent. they sent me a copy of the actual test results that showed Content of Ivermectin by UPLC
(USP)
80.1 %
they also gave me a copy of their COA test results from an independent lab in India that showed 100.2 percentage of the total claimed. I would be interested to hear others opinions and I can post both tests if anyone is interested.
