Nagbabala ang Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sa publiko laban sa paggamit ng veterinary medicine na Ivermectin bilang lunas sa coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Sa inilabas na pahayag ng FDA, ang Ivermectin ay aprubado lamang sa paggamit sa mga hayop sa “oral and intravenous preparations.”
Nilinaw ng ahensya, lunas ito para sa heartworm disease at internal at external parasites sa ilang animal species.

“The public is warned against taking animal drugs, as the FDA has only evaluated their safety and efficacy in the particular species for which they are labeled. Using these products in humans can cause serious harm. Animal drugs are often highly concentrated and can be highly toxic to humans,” diin ng FDA.
“Any use of Ivermectin veterinary products for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 should be avoided as the benefits and safety for this purpose has not been established,” paalala ng ahensya.
