The Department of Justice has yet to determine whether the exemptions set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the use of ivermectin as COVID-19 treatment has sound legal basis, following the plan of two congressmen to distribute the anti-parasitic drug.
“I wouldn’t really blame Representatives Defensor and Marcoleta if they will proceed (with the distribution) but as I said this is subject for a further determination if there is a legal basis for the exemption,” Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said in an ANC interview when asked if he will warn congressmen on their plan to distribute ivermectin.
