CAPE TOWN – Anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin is no longer allowed to be prescribed to COVID-19 patients.
The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority has terminated the controlled Compassionate Use Access Programme with immediate effect, saying there’s no credible evidence it helps treat COVID-19.
The authority had allowed it’s use in January last year amid public interest and reports of illicit Ivermectin entering the market.
