Review:
Ivermectin has been used for 60 years , not for live stock but for humans it was eventually repurposed for veterinarian usage , this story is factually incorrect and very misleading see
Review:
FDA has warned against use of Ivermectin since March 2020. It is used in treatment of some human conditions but is not proven to be effective in treatment, or prevention, of COVID-19. FDA reports misuse of Ivermection for this purpose has lead to increased hospitalizations.
Review:
The comment posted is correct, the Dr. is being investigated for prescribing ivermectin. Per the FDA "using any treatment for COVID-19 that?s not approved or authorized by the FDA, unless part of a clinical trial, can cause serious harm. Reported by multiple media outlets
