Doctors Welcome New Government Stance on Ivermectin in Covid-19 Treatment
In a move that frontline physicians across the country believe may bring about a turning point in the pandemic, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) last week revised its guidelines on ivermectin (IVM), making the anti-parasitic “wonder” drug an option for treatment of Covid-19.
The federal agency’s shift from opposition to “neither-for-or-against” was widely applauded by frontline doctors battling Covid.
Ivermectin is already approved by the FDA and is on the World Health Organization’s list of model list of essential medicines. But the federal agency had until now advised against its use for Covid-19 outside of a hospital setting or clinical trial. The agency’s website now informs viewers that the NIH is neutral on the subject.
