It's an approved drug. Fully licensed and considered to have a wide safety profile.
Doctors don't need permission for off-label use. It's just not a thing. We're in strange territory where doctors (professionals) have been demoted to nurses and they can't profess.
- gls2ro 5y agoIn my country, ivermectin it is an approve drug but not for COVID. Like a lot of other drugs which are approved as being safe but that does not mean they are good for COVID. So I don't see how your argument contradicts the one you are replying which says there is no an overwhelming amount of evidence for ivermectin as a good treatment for COVID. I am also not against being used by doctors who have the time for trying it and seeing if works. As we don't have a wide available treatment which we know for sure (with a high probability) that will cure COVID then maybe trying various scenarios could be a way to cure more people. But we have to take into consideration that giving one treatment means not giving other treatments so it is not an easy choice.
