Resumen

La capacidad de propagación y letalidad del SARS-CoV-2 en todo el mundo motiva la urgente necesidad de desarrollar una estrategia terapéutica apropiada para controlar los casos de COVID-19. El desarrollo de nuevos fármacos frente a este nuevo virus es apremiante debido a su rápida diseminación. Se han propuesto alternativas paralelas empleando fármacos ya disponibles para fines similares. Esta revisión describe el potencial antiviral de la ivermectina, así como sus mecanismos de acción frente a algunos virus, y discute su probable aplicación contra el SARS-CoV-2.
