Ivermectin. Again, again.

Whether you think it works against COVID or not, in principle, I'm on the doc's side...

These guys don’t even want FDA to be able to ‘opine’ on it. I couldn’t support that.

But otherwise I’m all for making sure it isn’t singled out by FDA distinctly from other off-label uses of other drugs.

@jon-nyc said in Ivermectin. Again, again.:

Too lazy to look it up. Does the FDA offer guidance or opinion in other off-label drug uses?

[jon-nyc]

I was too lazy to look it up also. That’s why I stated generically it should be treated consistently with other off-label usage.

At least in terms of rules and restrictions. The FDA comments on all kinds of stuff, including off label usage.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but from everything I hear, Ivermectin works VERY well for treating COVID.

[Renauda]

Don’t where I heard it, but I understand veterinarians have had very good results administering Invermectin to deworm livestock.

Any one else hear this?

[jon-nyc]

And humans - it is the standard treatment for river blindness.

@jon-nyc

Well, there you go. It’s a worm killer!

Wonder if it work on ridding us of the Mountain Pine Beetle?
