FWIW Ivermectin is not a steroid and discussion of ivermectin here is not relevant to the OP. Many other threads on this forum discuss ivermectin.

If you read my comment you should have seen I pointed out ivermectin is an "anti-parasite drug", not a corticosteroid as dexamethasone is. As for the relevance, the two drugs are being used in combination as a treatment in numerous studies and preliminary results seem promising.
