Yanno, my doctor doesn't recommend self diagnosis and self medication with doses of any medication administered for cattle or horses. Or fish, dogs and cats. But in the parts of the US, it seems to be a thing people just do anyway.How is this news? We have a Dr who is saying one thing but the regional hospital service is saying no such event has happened in their system? While one shouldn't take the livestock version of Ivermectin as it's not a very controlled or safe way to administer the drugs the drug has been administered for countless years for a number of ailments (dubious as to the effect it would have on a virus but we daily see how fear incites actions of questionable logic). Truthfully the title should be "Oklahoma doctor lies about Ivermectin usage leading to hospital ER disruption" while I would strongly not taking Horse de-wormer I have known several ranchers who did when working around the pens before shipping the livestock to the spring grazing fields.
Some Americans ignore warnings against using ivermectin to treat Covid.
Clinical trials have repeatedly failed to show that the drug is effective against the virus. Still, U.S. demand is high.
