Dr Noor Hisham: Health Ministry study finds Ivermectin ineffective at treating Covid-19, but likely to cause diarrhoea

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 3 — Livestock deworming medication Ivermectin did not significantly reduce the effects of severe Covid-19 infection and could not be recommended for inclusion in current treatment guidelines, said a Health Ministry study.

One received a five-day course of Ivermectin plus standard of care , and the other was the standard of care group that were treated according to MoH guidelines for Covid-19 patients at 20 government hospitals and MAEPS 2.0 Quarantine and Covid-19 Treatment Centre . Dr Noor Hisham said that safety analysis showed three times more adverse events were reported in the IVM group versus the SOC group, most commonly diarrhoea, while there was a trend of 28-day mortality reduction by IVM with standard of care, but not reaching statistical significance.

ICR director, Dr Kalaiarasu M. Peariasamy, said the I-TECH findings showed that patients in the IVM group compared to the SOC group had similar rates of progression to severe Covid-19 disease at 21.2 per cent and 17.3 per cent respectively.
