What Are Repurposed Drugs?

Repurposed drugs are medications originally developed for other conditions—like diabetes, infections, or inflammation—that also show benefits in fighting cancer. At CIOFM, we use them thoughtfully to support your body, disrupt cancer’s survival strategies, and reduce treatment side effects.

Examples of Repurposed Drugs Used at CIOFM

These medications are never one-size-fits-all. Dr. Jamie evaluates each patient's terrain, genetics, and treatment plan to determine if repurposed drugs are a good fit for your needs and goals.

We may also use specialized blood tests to help identify which repurposed drugs your specific cancer cells are most sensitive to, allowing us to tailor your treatment with greater precision and purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Supporting Research on Repurposed Medications

We align our approach with emerging research and clinical insight. The FLCCC's comprehensive paper, “Cancer Care” by Dr. Paul Marik, outlines a powerful case for the use of repurposed medications in integrative cancer therapy.

This resource highlights the scientific rationale, safety profiles, and promising outcomes of drugs like Metformin, Ivermectin, Mebendazole, and others that we may incorporate into your personalized care plan.

It supports the growing movement to rethink how familiar medications can be used in innovative ways to disrupt cancer metabolism and support the body’s natural defenses.
