Ivermectin
for COVID-19
Ivermectin is an antiparasitic medication widely promoted on social media and by some commentators as a COVID treatment. Multiple large high-quality RCTs have found no benefit.
How it works
Laboratory antiviral effects did not translate into meaningful clinical benefit in humans at approved dosing.
What to watch for
Despite widespread promotion ivermectin has failed to show benefit in rigorous clinical trials. It carries risks including drug interactions and is not approved for COVID-19 treatment.
