This comes as DOH has warned that government regulators have not approved Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug, for the cure of “any viral infection.”ADVERTISEMENT“We will submit the names of these doctors to the Professional Regulation Commission. If found guilty, these doctors run the risk of getting their licenses revoked,” DOH said in a statement. The DOH also reiterated its earlier advice to the public not to purchase and utilize Ivermectin veterinary products as medication for COVID-19, citing the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Advisory No. Any use of Ivermectin veterinary products for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 should be avoided,” it said. Data from clinical trials are necessary to determine whether Ivermectin is safe and effective in treating or preventing COVID-19 infection, the health agency added.
