Health Alert: Avoid Ivermectin for Covid
San Francisco - - Dr. Linda Bernstein, pharmacist, producer, writer and host of Dr. Linda TV is issuing an important Best of Health! Tip on the dangerous misuse of ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug used in humans and animals. Multiple cases have recently been reported of patients needing medical support and hospitalization after incorrectly taking ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19.
Avoid Ivermectin for COVID-19!
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved ivermectin for treatment or prevention of COVID-19 in humans or animals as study data does not support its effectiveness and safety. Clinical trials are ongoing. Furthermore, any drug intended for use in large animals can be highly toxic in humans.
