JULY 29 ― Before we make any rash decisions to approve any medications to treat or prevent a specific disease or symptom, there needs to be good evidence that using the medication will improve the outcome of the disease and will not cause more harm than good.

The current evidence for the use of Ivermectin for both the prevention as well as treatment of Covid-19 are still inconclusive. The Cochrane Database of Systematic Review is the choice for trusted evidence for informed decisions for healthcare providers as they have very stringent criteria for conducting systematic reviews.
Currently, there are another 31 ongoing studies, and 18 studies still requiring clarification from authors, or not yet published that will be able to provide more scientific evidence on both the effectiveness and safety of ivermectin.
