Published April 30, 2021 10:05am The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must investigate reports of “token” prescription during the distribution of ivermectin in Quezon City, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said Friday. Duque was reacting to reports that doctors who joined Representatives Rodante Marcoleta and Mike Defensor’s distribution of ivermectin wrote their prescriptions on a piece of paper and not on a prescription pad. “Kung totoo man yon na nakalagay sa isang tissue or bond paper lang, so part of what the FDA needs to do is investigate such reports. The accountability is clear it is the doctor who prescribed it who will answer for his action,” Duque said in an ANC interview.

Published April 29, 2021 11:26am 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.
