Philippines’ $21M remdesivir buy a ‘waste of money’
Mon, 10 May 2021
Two Philippine House lawmakers on May 9 criticised the Department of Health (DoH) for buying one billion pesos ($21 million) worth of remdesivir even after the World Health Organisation (WHO) had rejected the use of the drug in Covid-19 treatment.
Anakalusugan Representative Michael Defensor and House Deputy Speaker Lito Atienza also questioned the DoH’s decision to push through with the transaction, which they described as a waste of money.
“We consider all new purchases of remdesivir as reckless and foolish spending in light of the WHO recommendation, and considering that [the] government is scrounging for money to buy more Covid-19 vaccines and pay for the 2,000-peso cash aid for every Filipino contemplated under the Bayani ....

Medical groups discourage use of Ivermectin for prevention, treatment of COVID-19

(AFP / MANILA BULLETIN)
In a joint statement Wednesday night, May 6, HPAAC said claims by supporters that Ivermectin is effective and safe from side effects remain based on “low quality evidence.”
Citing a report by the Philippine Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (PSMID), HPAAC reiterated that “there is no strong, conclusive evidence to recommend Ivermectin” to COVID-19 patients.
In April, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted special permits to six hospitals to use the anti-parasitic drug on COVID-19 patients.
However, according to HPAAC, the permit “does not include the distribution of said medication outside of these hospitals.”
This after Anakalusugan Party-list Rep. Mike Defensor and Sagip Party-list Rep. Rodante Marcoleta distributed Ivermectin capsules to residents of Quezon City last week. ....

FDA Director-General Rolando Enrique Domingo said that it would be best to wait for the result of the different studies being conducted by health experts on Ivermectin before making a conclusion.
“We recognized that it is a drug under investigation for treatment of COVID-19 but we still do not have any solid evidence yet. Right now, the scientific evidence is not sufficient for us to be able to say that it really works against COVID-19, so we cannot recommend it for routine use and treatment of patients who have COVID-19,” said Domingo in an online forum on Wednesday, May 5. ....

Concerned Doctors and Citizens of the Philippines, who was also present during the drug’s free distribution last week, made this claim in a televised interview with CNN Philippines on April 30.
“I also forgot to write ‘ivermectin’ and the reason for that sa dami po ng reseta na nabigay ko, akala ko nalagay ko na yung ivermectin,” Agbayani said.
