DRUGS, THERAPEUTIC COMBINATIONS AND METHODS FOR PREVENTING VIRAL AND MICROBIAL INFECTIONS AND THEIR SEQUELAE

Field

[0001] This invention generally relates virology, microbiology and infectious diseases. In alternative embodiments, provided are drugs, therapeutic combinations and methods for preventing, or decreasing the chances of having any adverse effects from, decreasing the severity of adverse effects from, or treating or ameliorating a viral infection such as a coronavirus infection (such as COVID- 19, or any of its variants, such as delta or omicron variants) or a microbial infection including a protozoan, helminthiasis, insect and/or parasitic infection such as: malaria that can be caused by a parasite of the genus Plasmodium (such as P. vivax, P . falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale, or P. knowlesi); dengue fever; filariasis, leprosy or streptocerciasis that can be caused by a parasite of the superfamily Filarioidea (such as Brugia malayi, Brugia timori, Wuchereria bancrofti, Loa loa, Mansonella streptocerca, Mansonella ozzardi, or Mansonella perstans); leprosy that can be caused by a parasite of the genus Mycobacterium (such as M. leprae or M. lepromatosis); river blindness or onchocerciasis that can be caused by parasitic worms such as parasites of the genus Onchocerca (such as O. volvulus')', hookworm or roundworm infections that can be caused by parasites of the genus Ancylostoma (such as A. duodenale or A. ceylanicum) or Necator (such as N. americanus); trichuriasis or whipworm infection that can be caused by a parasite of the genus Trichuris (such as /. trichuria); roundworm or an Ascaris infection that can be caused by Ascaris lumbricoides; mite-carried infections such as scabies that can be caused by the parasite of the genus Sarcoptes (such as S. scabiei); infections such as typhus caused by lice or parasites of the order Phthiraptera (such as Pediculus humanus capitis); enterobiasis that can be caused by pinworm or parasites of the genus Enterobius (such as E. vermicularis); pulicosis or infections cause by fleas or insects of the order Siphonaptera or of the genus Pulex (such as P. irritans), and other infections and infestations.

Background

[0002] Coronavirus infections have previously caused SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) and are particularly difficult to treat with anti-viral agents, and single drug regimens have not been found to be effective against the current coronavirus infection called COVID-19. No known anti-infective agents used singly or alone are able to prevent a coronavirus infection.

[00025] The details of one or more exemplary embodiments of the invention are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features, objects, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.

[00026] All publications, patents, patent applications cited herein are hereby expressly incorporated by reference in their entireties for all purposes.

Brief Description of Drawings

[00027] The drawings set forth herein are illustrative of exemplary embodiments provided herein and are not meant to limit the scope of the invention as encompassed by the claims.

[00028] FIG. 1 illustrates the four pillars of infection of the COVID-19 pandemic, include the stopping of the spread by contagion control as achieved by distancing and mask wearing, as represented by the first pillar (Pillar I). The second pillar (Pillar II) is early home treatment or ambulatory treatment as soon as the patient has acquired the infection to prevent them from developing more and more severe disease with low oxygen, breathlessness, muscle pains, cough and finally fever. This treatment is the crucial treatment that could turn a pandemic around if given early enough to enough patients simultaneously or serially. It is generally given on a daily basis for at least 5 days, but used over 10 days it has a near 100% effectiveness. The third pillar(Pillar III) of the treatment of pandemic response is the late-stage or treatment in hospital. Here, the patients develop initially an early cytokine release, going through to greater release, ultimately resulting in what is called a severe cytokine storm. The released active molecules from the infected tissues, especially in the lungs, and create inflammation and/or pneumonia and finally fibrosis of the lungs with oxygen tensions falling below SPO2 of less than 90 on pulse oximetry. Ultimately, multiple vessels can thrombose and the patient can suffer from thromboembolic disease. The thromboses can also cause stroke and death of tissues wherever the clots occur. As the final or fourth pillar (Pillar IV) of managing infectious disease in the Coronavirus pandemic, it is mass vaccination to attain ‘herd immunity’ where the majority of the population is immune to the Covid- 19 infection. However, because vaccination in some people does not last for a prolonged period of time, a common finding with RNA viruses, it may need to be repeated and the signal for repeating the vaccination is at this stage unclear since titers of neutralizing antibodies may need to be measured.

In alternative embodiments, provided are manufactured kits and specialized tablets and capsules, and slow-release technology for delivering pharmaceutical compositions and therapeutic combinations of drugs as provided herein and practicing methods as provided herein.

[00031] In alternative embodiments, combinations or cocktails of drugs are provided to be administered intravenously, orally, by inhalation, by suppository or parenterally or subcutaneously to treat and/or prevent a viral infection such as a coronavirus infection (such as a COVID- 19 infection) or a microbial infection including a protozoan, helminthiasis, insect and/or parasitic infection as provided herein. In alternative embodiments, combinations or cocktails of drugs as provided herein are administered in higher doses than usual clinical state of the art, or what is considered “best practice”, doses to prolong the drug or drug combination’s half-life and increase the ‘area under the curve’ (AUC) resulting from specialized dosing.

[00032] The approach to the preventative treatment disclosed herein is summarized in FIG. 1, which illustrates the four pillars of coronavirus infection management response. The fourth pillar, described as a ‘vaccine support’ is how oral preventative treatment as provided herein is combined with a vaccine or is used to replace a vaccine if the approved vaccines did not work as well as expected.

[00033] The underlying characteristics of ivermectin pharmacokinetic behavior include absorption which peaks in between about 2 to 5 hours, half-life in the plasma which may be between about 12 to 22 hours or about 18 hours (h), and then excretion mostly in the feces. Ivermectin can be metabolized in the liver to a great extent but there is another important component - that of tissue storage, particularly fat tissue storage. In both animals and humans, ivermectin is highly lipophilic and binds to or is absorbed by adipose tissue or fat; ivermectin distributes in the body with a volume of distribution (Vd) of 3.1 to 3.5 1/kg. Hence, once administered, orally repeatedly ivermectin accumulates in adipose tissue and it is slowly eluted from the fat tissues. Ivermectin may persist in the adipose tissue for many weeks and depending on the drug level in the fat may be slowly passed into the plasma for some weeks.

[00034] In the ivermectin, doxycycline or azithromycin and zinc therapeutic combination or composition for treatment of patients with Covid- 19 in the ambulatory or early infectious phase (see FIG. 1, Pillar II), the two ionophores ivermectin and doxycycline are present to shepherd the zinc into the cells where the zinc acts to prevent the replication of Coronavirus RNA. The ivermectin and doxycycline are both extraneous molecules not normally present in the tissues, whereas zinc is normally present in circulation and tissues. Zinc may need to be supplemented in therapy, especially in those who are deficient in zinc, a common condition in the elderly. Ivermectin in itself without the use of doxycycline or azithromycin can be effective because of the zinc naturally occurring in the tissues to bring into the cells to inhibit the growth of Coronavirus. [00035] In alternative embodiments, provided are methods for reducing the need for frequent administration of an avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) dosaging in a preventative therapy comprising either increasing the dose of the avermectin class drug (higher AUC), using it more frequently, or administering an avermectin class drug slow-release medication that would permit less frequent usage of the preventative medication.

[00036] In alternative embodiments, methods that have been employed in creating a slow- release of an avermectin class drug such as ivermectin alone in the treatment of malaria can be used. Similar but improved technology as provided herein is used when combining the avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) with the other therapeutic components or drugs (such as zinc and/or an antibiotic or anti-viral) to result in a treatment that can be used less frequently by the patient, but is able to completely protect the individuals from acquiring the clinical disease, for example, the disease caused by the Coronavirus, or the COVID-19 infection.

[00037] In the fourth (IV) pillar of therapy as illustrated in FIG. 1, the oral, intermittent preventative therapy as provided herein is used as a support therapy for a vaccine. In alternative embodiments, provided is an avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin)-based prevention therapy which taken on an approximately monthly basis, an individual could depend on both the ivermectin-based prophylactic therapy, as well as the vaccine to prevent acquisition of the infection by individuals exposed to it. Given the vaccine is expected to be less active in the elderly and immunocompromised, prophylactic therapy as provided herein can be more important in this cohort than vaccination.

[00038] In alternative embodiments, drugs combinations and methods as provided herein are used for the treatment and prevention of infections, for example, Covid-19 infections, in patients at any one of the four (IV) pillar stages as illustrated in FIG. 1, but are particularly effective in stopping the spread of the contagion and as support for the vaccine.

[00039] In alternative embodiments, drug formulations and drugs combinations and methods as provided herein are used for the prevention of infection, for example, for use in individuals who are not infected. In alternative embodiments, drug formulations and drugs combinations are given weekly, second weekly (or every other week), monthly, or less frequently if the plasma levels of ivermectin remain high, or more frequently if the plasma levels of ivermectin remain low. [00040] In alternative embodiments, to maintain high levels of an avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin), for example, high ivermectin levels, or to store the avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) in the body’s adipose tissue, a loading dose is used with ongoing intermittent treatment(s) that maintain the fatty tissue as a reservoir, slowly eluting the avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) over time, for example, over the next 4 to 8 weeks, or 6 to 10 week, or 8 to 12 weeks, or more, after the initial or loading dose is given.

[00041] In alternative embodiments, a loading dosage of an avermectin class drug such as ivermectin (optionally STROMECTOL™), moxidectin (optionally CYDECTIN™, EQUEST™, QUEST™), selamectin (optionally STRONGHOLD™), a milbemycin (optionally milbemectin, milbemycin oxime, moxidectin or nemadectin), doramectin (optionally DECTOMAX™), eprinomectin or abamectin, is about 30 mg/kg (or 30 mg per 2.2 pounds (lb)) or about 1800 mg in a 60 kg (about 132 lb) person. In alternative embodiments, a loading dosage of ivermectin is between about 30 to 60 mg/kg or is between about 1800 mg to 3600 mg in a 60 kg (about 132 lb) person.

[00042] In alternative embodiments, a maintenance dosage of the avermectin class drug (for example, ivermectin) is between about 20 mcg/kg (p/kg) to 5000 mcg/kg (p/kg) or between about 200 to 2000 mcg/kg (p/kg) dose, where 200 mcg/kg is equivalent to 12 mg in a 60 kg adult, and 2000 mcg/kg is 120 mg which is 7% of the LD50. The accepted therapeutic dose of ivermectin for parasite treatment is 200 mcg per kg of body weight; however, studies have described use of more than 200 mcg/kg (12 mg) and 2000 mcg/kg (120 mg) and above this without any increase in ivermectin toxicity.

[00043] In alternative embodiments, provided is a drug or therapeutic combination comprising an avermectin class drug such as ivermectin, an antibiotic (for example, doxycycline or azithromycin) or anti-viral and zinc; for example, the drug or therapeutic combination comprises: ivermectin about 120 mg, doxycycline about 200 mg and about 50 mg of zinc (such as zinc picolinate acid, or a zinc sulphate, acetate, gluconate or picolinate salt) or other zinc salts or zinc-comprising compounds. In alternative embodiments, provided is a drug or therapeutic combination comprising between about 18 to 150 mg ivermectin, about 200 to 500 mg doxycycline or azithromycin and about 50 to 100 mg of zinc (such as zinc picolinate acid,) or a zinc or other zinc salts or zinc-comprising compounds. [00044] In alternative embodiments, with the first or loading dosage, or after the first (i.e., with the second), third, fourth, fifth or sixth or more drug or drug combination administration, injected, oral, inhaled or aerosol formulations or versions of chloroquine (or ARALEN™), chloroquine phosphate, chloroquine diphosphate and/or hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) (optionally, PLAQUENIL™) is co-administered with an exemplary drug combination or formulation, because for example the * life of HCQ can be between about 50 to 70 days.

[00045] In alternative embodiments, with the first or loading dosage, or after the first (i.e., with the second), third, fourth, fifth or sixth or more drug or drug combination administration, particularly if zinc is included in the administered drug combination, copper, a vitamin such as vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin E or vitamin A, and/or selenium is also administered, for example, in the same formulation as the avermectin class drug such as ivermectin, the antibiotic (for example, doxycycline or azithromycin) or anti-viral and/or the zinc, or the copper, the vitamin and/or the selenium is administered as a separate formulation.

[00046] In alternative embodiments, the copper is administered or formulated at a dosage of between about 1 to 200 mg per day. In alternative embodiments, the copper is administered or formulated as cupric chloride and administered intravenously formulated at about 0.4 mg/ml.

[00047] In alternative embodiments, the selenium is administered as selenious acid formulated at about 65.4 mcg/ml (or p/ml), and optionally the selenium is administered at a dosage of between about 50 to 100 p/ml, optionally between about 60 to 100 pgm per day is administered to an adult, and only up to 60 pgm per day for pediatric patients.

[00048] In alternative embodiments, this exemplary drug or therapeutic combination is administered (for example, prophylactically to an uninfected individual) as the loading dosage or dosages, and then this drug or therapeutic combination is administered weekly or monthly or every second month (or every two or three or more months), or every other week, or every third week. In alternative embodiments, this exemplary drug or therapeutic combination is administered (for example, prophylactically to an uninfected individual) on a monthly basis to slowly build up the fat accumulation of the ivermectin in the body.

[00049] Because the ivermectin reaches peak plasma levels by around 4 hours, and once loaded into body stores such as fat it then can remain in the blood stream for several weeks, it would be able to not only treat and eradicate, but also prevent infection when the patient is exposed to the pathogen or parasite, for example, to prevent infection when the individual (or patient) is exposed to someone who is already infected.

[00050] The vaccines do not work until an individual has developed immunity with rising IgM then IgG antibodies which may take around 14 to 28 days. Then, depending on the vaccine’s quality, the neutralizing antibodies may remain in circulation for 3, 4, 5, 6 or more months. With an RNA virus, the immunization has problems because the persistence of the neutralizing antibodies can be short-lived, though in some patients the persistence of neutralizing antibodies is longer if the individual is re-immunized. Thus, in alternative embodiments, drug or therapeutic combinations as provided herein are used as a ‘vaccine support’ for a ‘weak’ vaccine. In alternative embodiments, drug or therapeutic combinations as provided herein are used prophylactically, and can be administered on a monthly basis, for example. In alternative embodiments, drug or therapeutic combinations as provided herein are used as an oral preventative or prophylactic therapy, for example, while a vaccine provides a low-level supplementary preventive measure to keep individuals free of COVID-19 infection.

[00051] When the avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) is used frequently, for example, on a daily or weekly basis for up to 8 weeks, for example, the drug accumulates in adipose tissue. After the 8 weeks the adipose tissue will have accumulated enough of the avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) for its protective effect to last for another 4 months by leaching out of the adipose tissue and into the plasma.

[00052] The zinc, which may be a necessary additive, becomes available from either the human tissue and/or from dietary and/or oral zinc, and so the ongoing available avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) can work through normally present tissue zinc, will be able to maintain protection for at least 4 weeks.

[00053] In alternative embodiments, an initial (or loading) treatment is the drug combination comprising ivermectin 120 mg, doxycycline or azithromycin 200 mg and 50 mg zinc Picolinate or equivalent, or a zinc salt.

[00054] In alternative embodiments, in order to load the adipose tissue, the treatment (methods as provided herein) are adapted to have another single dose of this exemplary drug combination (i.e., of an avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) 120 mg, doxycycline or azithromycin 200 mg and 50 mg zinc Picolinate or equivalent, or a zinc salt). In alternative embodiments, this exemplary drug combination is administered two weeks later, or at weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4, and from then on, on a monthly basis, because the avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) will be stored and will be leaching out of the adipose tissue.

[00055] In alternative embodiments, drug or therapeutic combinations as provided herein are formulated in liposomes, micelles such as oleic acid comprising micelles or liposomes, or other microparticles or nanoparticles, and in some embodiments only the avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) component of the drug or therapeutic combinations as provided herein is formulated in liposomes or in micelles such as oleic acid comprising micelle or liposomes.

[00056] In alternative embodiments, liposomes, micelles and/ or other microparticles or nanoparticles are used to reduce drug metabolism and enhance the release of large quantities of the active avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) over a long period of time to the target site by altering its pharmacokinetics.

[00057] In alternative embodiments, routes of administration of exemplary drug or therapeutic combinations as provided herein comprise oral, topical, intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), inhalation (for example, by aerosol or nebulizer) and/or subcutaneous routes.

[00058] In alternative embodiments, oral administration is used because injection of a patient may not be acceptable for routine use in large populations. However, oral administration of avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) may have low bioavailability due to binding of the drug with the organic contents in the gut. Hence, a large percentage of the orally administered avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) may be excreted in the feces.

[00059] In alternative embodiments, to address this possible problem, oral formulations comprising exemplary drug or therapeutic combinations as provided herein are formulated in or for: ingestion with food or liquid (such as for example, beer or a stabilized aqueous formulation); administration with or using an osmotic pump; controlled release capsules; silicone carriers; zein or chitosan microspheres; biodegradable microparticle drug delivery system; and/or, biodegradable subcutaneous implants. Ivermectin absorption can also be increased 2 to 3 fold when ingested with a meal, particularly a fatty meal, or with some drinks such as beer. [00060] In alternative embodiments, exemplary drug or therapeutic combinations as provided herein are formulated in lipid nanocapsules and nanoparticles.

[00061] In alternative embodiments, exemplary drug or therapeutic combinations as provided herein are formulated in oral delivery vehicles (for example, capsules) capable of prolonged drug delivery; where the exemplary oral delivery vehicle or formulation is a capsule, pill, tablet and the like which after ingestion resides in the stomach cavity, and its passage out of the stomach is delayed, and while in the stomach the oral delivery vehicle or formulation delivers the exemplary drug or therapeutic combinations as provided herein slowly to the small bowel for absorption.

[00062] In alternative embodiments, such oral delivery vehicles carry exemplary drug or therapeutic combinations as provided herein which can comprise large loads of therapeutic agents as described herein, and can provide control of release and maintain stability of the therapeutic agent at a low pH gastric environment for extended duration.

[00063] In alternative embodiments, such oral delivery vehicles can be located in the stomach without increasing potential for obstruction through the pylorus and avoid downstream intestinal obstruction, especially at the ileocecal valve. Such an object to be in the stomach has to be greater than 2 cm in diameter in research on malarial treatment, a tetrahedron has the critical size and shape and the optimal geometry; alternatively, a stellate-type encapsulated product is used for slow release. In alternative embodiments, four or more arms point out from a central hub.

[00064] In alternative embodiments, tetrahedrons or stellate-type encapsulated products as provided and used herein are built from degradable or dissolvable elements within the formulation which remain stable in acidic environments but dissolve in near- neutral pH, down in the small bowel. In alternative embodiments, poly caprolactone (PCL) or polyO.- caprolactone) (or poly(epsilon-caprolactone)) or equivalents are used because these compounds are rigid enough as a drug release vehicle after being formed as a matrix because of its biocompatibility and low temperature melting process; it has been used successfully to deliver drugs in animal studies. In alternative embodiments, PCL equivalents comprise poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(alpha-cholesteryl carboxylate-epsilon-caprolactone), poly(alpha- benzylcarboxylate-epsilon-caprolactone) (PBCL) and/or poly(alpha-cholesteryl carboxylate- epsilon-caprolactone) (PChCL), which are used to make drug-encapsulating formulations or delivery vehicles as provided herein, for example, to make tetrahedrons or stellate-type encapsulated products. In alternative embodiments, PCL equivalents comprise biodegradable amphiphilic polyurethane block copolymers with hyperbranched structure (for example, where these copolymers are synthesized by copolymerizing poly(s-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) together with glycerol).

[00065] In alternative embodiments, exemplary oral delivery vehicles have a size greater than about 2 cm in cross-sectional dimension; and when used in humans daily food intake will not interfere with the gastric residence of the drug delivery system, nor will cause obstruction at the pyloric sphincter. In alternative embodiments, exemplary oral delivery vehicles provided or used herein have the shape a tetrahedron or are star shape forms to for example reduce unanticipated drug release or dumping and to facilitate incorporation of various drugs such as the doxycycline or azithromycin and the zinc into a single exemplary delivery product as provided herein.

[00066] In alternative embodiments, exemplary oral delivery vehicles are shaped as a compressed spring which opens to prevent exit from the stomach. In alternative embodiments, exemplary oral delivery vehicles comprise radiopaque components which allow gastric residence to be evaluated by serial X-Rays if necessary, or by an electronic method of being picked up in a detection device worn around the abdomen. When tested in animals, such a product does not cause any gastric mucosal surface injury or ulceration. Such a device for gastric residence does not simply sit in the pylorus, but does move around the fundus and body of the stomach, and even fibrous foods did not cause any potential for obstruction in animal studies. Such a product can continue delivering the medications for over 40 days, for example, with an avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) delivered as a powdered product into a PCL or PCL equivalent, and optionally in a separate arm of an exemplary delivery product different drugs are inserted to ensure that a drug combination as provided herein, for example, an avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin), doxycycline or azithromycin and zinc combination, can be delivered slowly over several weeks.

[00067] In one exemplary applications (compositions or methods) as provided herein, three or more major features are used to deliver the drugs for a prolonged period. First, an increased dose of an avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) is used or delivered. Second, initial frequent dosing or one loading dose is used to establish an adipose tissue (fat) reservoir; and this can be every few days or weekly followed by intermittently dosed every 1, 2, 3 or 4 or more weeks to maintain the avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) reservoir. Third, technology that delivers a slow release of a drug combination as provided herein, for example, an avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin), doxycycline or azithromycin and/or zinc combination, over many days or weeks.

[00068] In alternative embodiments, additional or alternative group or groups of medications are included in a drug combination as provided herein or used in a method as provided herein, including use in a timed-release system as provided herein.

[00069] In alternative embodiments, optionally to increase efficacy of the avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) high doses per body weight, multiple dose regimens, and/or slow release formulations are used to increase the area under the curve and hence the efficacy and lethality for an infection such as a coronavirus infection; and co-therapies with various compounds also can be used. For example, as an alternative therapy to the avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin), doxycycline or azithromycin and zinc, other combinations and mixtures thereof can be used. For example, add-on medications can also be included to enhance the power of the preventative treatment.

[00070] For example, high dose vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, niacin and/or vitamin D or cholecalciferol are included in each dosage or optionally in a weekly, monthly or second weekly treatment. For example, vitamin D or cholecalciferol can be administered at a dosage of between about 500 and 100,000 units, or between about 2,000 and 50,000 units or between about 4,000 units and 25,000 units (or international units, or IU) and/or vitamin C is administered at a dosage of between about 200 to 5000 mg (or international units, or IU).

In alternative embodiments, therapeutic combination can be mixed and administered together, or alternatively, they can be an individual member of a packaged combination of ingredients, for example, a liquid component and a solid product component manufactured in a separate compartment, package, kit or container; for example, where all or a subset of the combinations of ingredients are manufactured in a separate compartment, package or container. In alternative aspects, the package, kit or container comprises a blister package, a clamshell, a tray, a shrink wrap and the like. [00096] For example in an exemplary embodiment, the package, kit or container comprises a blister package, a clamshell, a tray, a shrink wrap and the like contains a first delivery packet (or, what is indicated or configured on the package, kit or container comprises a blister package, a clamshell, a tray, a shrink wrap and the like to be the first dosage taken by the individual) comprising a loading dosage of an avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) dosaged at about 30 mg/kg (or 30 mg per 2.2 pounds (lb)) or about 1600 mg to 1800 mg in a 60 kg (about 132 lb) person. In alternative embodiments, a loading dosage of the avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin) is between about 30 to 60 mg/kg or is between about 1800 mg to 3600 mg in a 60 kg (about 132 lb) person.

[00097] In alternative embodiments, further delivery packets contain a maintenance dosage of an avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin), which can be between about between about 20 mcg/kg (p/kg) to 5000 mcg/kg (p/kg) or between about 200 to 2000 mcg/kg (p/kg) dose, where 200 mcg/kg is equivalent to 12 mg in a 60 kg adult, and 2000 mcg/kg is 120 mg which is 7% of the LD50.

[00098] In alternative embodiments, in addition to a loading dosage of an avermectin class drug (optionally ivermectin), a first delivery packet, and further delivery packets, also contain doxycycline or azithromycin and zinc.

[00099] In alternative embodiments, a first delivery packet, and further delivery packets, also contain an additional drug or drugs, for example as provided herein, for example, a vitamin (such as vitamin A, D, C, E or niacin), hydroxychloroquine, a hydrocortisone or cortisol (optionally CORTEF™, SOLUCORTEF™), optionally hydrocortisone sodium succinate or hydrocortisone acetate or dexamethasome (optionally DEXTENZA™, OZURDEX™, NEOFORDEX™), an H2 antagonist such as famotidine, and the like, which can be configured in the package, kit or container comprises a blister package, a clamshell, a tray, a shrink wrap and the like to be taken sequentially or in an overlapping or staggered dosage regimen.

[000100] In one aspect, the package, kit or container comprises a “blister package” (also called a blister pack, or bubble pack). In one aspect, the blister package is made up of two separate elements: a transparent plastic cavity shaped to the product and its blister board backing. These two elements are then joined together with a heat sealing process which allows the product to be hung or displayed. Exemplary types of “blister packages” include: Face seal blister packages, gang run blister packages, mock blister packages, interactive blister packages, slide blister packages.

[000101] Blister packs, clamshells or trays are forms of packaging used for goods; thus, provided are for blister packs, clamshells or trays comprising a drug combination or formulation as provided herein, or a drug combination, pharmaceutical preparations or pharmaceutical compositions used to practice methods as provided herein. Blister packs, clamshells or trays can be designed to be non-reclosable, so consumers can tell if a package has already opened. They are used to package for sale goods where product tampering is a consideration, such as the pharmaceuticals as provided herein. In one aspect, a blister pack comprises a molded PVC base, with raised areas (the "blisters") to contain the tablets, pills, etc. comprising the combinations of drugs drug combination, or formulations, pharmaceutical preparations or pharmaceutical compositions used in methods as provided herein, covered by a foil laminate. Tablets, pills, etc. can be removed from the pack either by peeling the foil back or by pushing the blister to force the tablet to break the foil. In one aspect, a specialized form of a blister pack is a strip pack. In one aspect, in the United Kingdom, blister packs adhere to British Standard 8404.

[000102] In one embodiment, provided is a method of packaging wherein the compositions comprising combinations of ingredients are contained in-between a card and a clear PVC. The PVC can be transparent so the item (pill, tablet, geltab, etc.) can be seen and examined easily; and in one aspect, can be vacuum-formed around a mold so it can contain the item snugly and have room to be opened upon purchase. In one aspect, the card is brightly colored and designed depending on the item (pill, tablet, geltab, etc.) inside, and the PVC is affixed to the card using pre-formed tabs where the adhesive is placed. The adhesive can be strong enough so that the pack may hang on a peg, but weak enough so that this way one can tear open the join and access the item. Sometimes with large items or multiple enclosed pills, tablets, geltabs, etc., the card has a perforated window for access. In one aspect, more secure blister packs, for example, for items such as pills, tablets, geltabs, etc. are used, and they can comprise of two vacuum-formed PVC sheets meshed together at the edges, with the informative card inside. These can be hard to open by hand, so a pair of scissors or a sharp knife may be required to open.

[000103] In one aspect, blister packaging comprises at least two or three or more components: a thermoformed "blister" which houses multi-ingredient combination as provided herein, and then a "blister card" that is a printed card with an adhesive coating on the front surface. During the assembly process, the blister component, which is most commonly made out of PVC, is attached to the blister card using a blister machine. This machine introduces heat to the flange area of the blister which activates the glue on the card in that specific area and ultimately secures the PVG blister to the printed blister card. The thermoformed PVG blister and the printed blister card can be as small or as large as you would like, but there are limitations and cost considerations in going to an oversized blister card. Conventional blister packs can also be sealed (for example, using an AERGO 8 DUO™, SCA Consumer Packaging, Inc., DeKalb IL) using regular heat seal tooling. This alternative aspect, using heat seal tooling, can seal common types of thermoformed packaging.

[000104] In alternative embodiments, therapeutic combinations and formulations drug combination, or pharmaceutical preparations or pharmaceutical compositions used in methods drug combination, are formulated, for example, as a powder, for example, as lyophilized material, for example, a lyophilized encapsulated product, for example, for practicing methods as provided herein, can be packaged alone or in combinations, for example, as “blister packages” or as a plurality of packettes, including as lidded blister packages, lidded blister or blister card or packets or packettes, or a shrink wrap, or kits, and the like.

[000105] In alternative embodiments, laminated aluminum foil blister packs are used, for example, for the preparation of therapeutic combinations or formulations as provided herein, or for pharmaceutical preparations or pharmaceutical compositions used in methods as provided herein. Products or kits comprise an aqueous solution(s) which are dispensed (for example, by measured dose) into containers. Trays can be freeze-dried to form tablets which take the shape of the blister pockets. The alufoil laminate of both the tray and lid fully protects any highly hygroscopic and/or sensitive individual doses. In one aspect, the pack incorporates a child-proof peel open security laminate. In one aspect, the system give tablets an identification mark by embossing a design into the alufoil pocket that is taken up by the tablets when they change from aqueous to solid state. In one aspect, individual 'push-through' blister packs/ packettes are used, for example, using hard temper aluminum (for example, alufoil) lidding material. In one aspect, hermetically-sealed high barrier aluminum (for example, alufoil) laminates are used. In one aspect, products of manufacture include kits or blister packs, use foil laminations and strip packs, stick packs, sachets and pouches, peelable and non-peelable laminations combining foil, paper, or film for high barrier packaging. [000106] In alternative embodiments, multi-component products of manufacture, including kits or blister packs as provided herein, include memory aids to help remind patients when and how to take the therapeutic combination. This safeguards the therapeutic combination 's efficacy by protecting each tablet, geltab or pill until it's taken; gives the product or kit portability, makes it easy to take a dose anytime or anywhere.

He was started on nirmatrelvir but combined with Ribavirin 400 mg twice daily to allow better absorption. The patient is taking these on a daily basis for 5 days before the first swab and the treatment is 10 days to ensure close to 100% cure rate. The patient is cured of the condition.

Example 4

[000129] A 62-year-old male presented with PCR positive for COVID 19. He was quite symptomatic and had fevers and rigors with oximetry reading of 93. He is placed on disulfiram 250 mg twice daily combined with hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice daily, zinc 25 mg twice daily, and azithromycin 250 twice daily. He had a background dosing of vitamin D 5000 U/day total treatment was for 10 days. He is expected to do very well given the combination therapy with disulfiram.

Example 5

[000130] A 47-year-old male, once vaccinated 6 weeks ago with the Pfizer mRNA vaccine, presented with cough, fever, loss of taste and smell, diarrhoea, aches and pains, and oximetry level of 96%. He was PCR swabbed positive. He only had symptoms for three days, so he was commenced on the combination of nirmatrelvir 150 mg twice daily together with ritonavir 100 mg. The patient’s symptoms improved progressively over 6 days with oximetry reading elevated and symptoms slowly diminishing. However, he was not completely improving by day 5 and the therapy continued for yet another three days by which stage his oximetry was up to 97%.

Example 6

[000131] A 72-year old patient, never vaccinated, presented with a two-day history of fevers of 41 degrees, rigors, shakes, sweating, sore throat, aches and pains, and loss of taste and smell. He was PCR swabbed positive. He had a short bout of diarrhoea beforehand. He was commenced on a combination of nirmatrelvir 150 mg twice daily for ten days combined with ritonavir 100 mg twice daily, together with a choice of ivermectin 12 mg twice daily. He was also given vitamin D 10 000 units daily and zinc picolinic acid 50 mg. The patient quickly deteriorated but kept on improving after day 4 and by day 8, his oxygen tensions rose from 94 to 97 and he felt markedly better, although still fatigued. He recovered completely.

Example 7

[000132] A 64-year-old female, two vaccinations three months before, presented with fever, aches and pain, profound tiredness and some loss of taste and smell. She was PCR swabbed positive. She was diagnosed having coronavirus infection. She was commenced on nirmatrelvir 150 mg twice daily for ten days combined with ritonavir 100 mg twice daily to maintain blood levels and was given ivermectin 12 mg bid, zinc 50 mg and doxycycline 100 mg twice daily. This constitutes the drug combination. Within 24 hours, the patient’s oxygenation improved dramatically from 92 to 97 and she felt markedly better within three days. The patient wants to stop all medications, but this was prevented, and she continued to day 10. By day 20, her PCR nasopharyngeal swab was negative, and she was cured.

Example 8

[000133] A 34-year-old female front-line worker and was diagnosed with coronavirus in association with fevers, aches and fatigue. She is commenced on amantadine orally using the standard capsule of 137 mg once daily for ten days. This was in combination with Ivermectin 12 mg bd, zinc picolinic acid 50 mg mane, and doxycycline 100 mg bd. She developed a rash to the doxycycline when added and this was changed to azithromycin 250 mg bd for the duration of the ten-day course.

Example 9

[000134] A 71-year-old male presents with symptoms of coronavirus infection with tiredness, rigors, fever, and loss of taste and smell with positive PCR. He was treated with a combination of ivermectin 12 mg 2 in the morning and 2 at night on day one, and 12 mg daily for the rest of the 10 days. Zinc picolinic acid 50 mg mane and doxycycline 100 mg bd together with disulfiram 250 mg twice daily and strictly told to keep away from any alcohol or otherwise he may have nausea and vomiting. His symptoms improved slowly. By day 4 his oxygen tension rose from 93 to 97 but his symptoms kept on improving with about 90% of his symptoms completely improved by day 8. At 20 days, his PCR swab was negative for coronavirus.

Example 10

[000135] A 61-year-old female is infected with swab positive coronavirus. She had previously had vaccination but nevertheless developed infection. Her symptoms were classic with sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath, oxygen tension of 92% and some diarrhoea but no loss of smell or taste. She was commenced on feno fibrate 150 mg twice daily to supplement the ivermectin 12 mg bd, zinc picolinic acid 50 mg mane, doxycycline 150 mg bd. Her partner was also found to be positive and was allergic to doxycycline so this partner was also quite symptomatic with oxygen tension of 93%. The partner was commenced on fenofibrate 150 mg twice daily with ivermectin 12 mg bd, zinc picolinic acid 50 mg mane and azithromycin 250 mg bd. Both were treated for 10 days and both improved quite rapidly with negative PCR at day 18.
