Doctors Welcome New Government Stance on Ivermectin in Covid-19 Treatment
In a move that frontline physicians across the country believe may bring about a turning point in the pandemic, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) last week revised its guidelines on ivermectin (IVM), making the anti-parasitic “wonder” drug an option for treatment of Covid-19.

Ivermectin is already approved by the FDA and is on the World Health Organization’s list of model list of essential medicines.
