Ivermectin not a miracle drug for Covid, says Health Ministry chief investigator after in-depth study

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 — Livestock deworming medication Ivermectin is not a miracle drug that can cure Covid-19 patients, the Health Ministry asserted today.

“It’s highly irresponsible, to be honest, especially coming from a doctor if you say Ivermectin is a miracle drug because when you say it’s a miracle drug to a lay person, it means a miracle drug where you will not get severe disease if you pop a tablet, especially to those who are uneducated,” said Dr Lim, an Infectious Diseases Specialist at Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun in Ipoh, Perak.

In his presentation, Dr Lim said the study started in December last year and used on 491 people as test subjects in 21 study sites.
