Seriously man. It WAS allowed. You were LIED to about that. Tons and tons of prescriptions prove it is allowed. But if you Observe this you cant keep claiming they REVERSED their stance.
The FDA has not Authorized Ivermectin for Covid treatment. This does not mean it can not be prescribed for it. You were LIED to about that restriction, or don't understand how this works.
Tons of drugs, daily, are prescribed for diseases they are not Authorized to treat, known as off-label treatment. There's a good chance this even happened to You. Your website reference removed that part about OLT.
The FDA has NOT REVERSED their opinion or Authorization on Ivermectin. That is different than the Emergency Authorization stuff.
You are right about the Alternative Treatment stuff regarding Emergency Use.
You are Wrong that Ivermectin could not be prescribed to treat Covid legally, which means you are wrong that the FDA REVERSED their stance. You were LIED to about that.
Part of my job puts me in touch with people on the CDC, and my understanding on the topic is exactly as Eegore stated.
Now, that’s not to say doctors weren’t intimidated by media reports not to prescribe it or evaluate it themselves. It’s absolutely true the possibility of it as a treatment was shut down. And the only reason it was shut down is because Trump mentioned it as a possible valid treatment possibility. When Trump mentioned there was research into various disinfectant techniques, even UV light, the media went crazy because they saw an opportunity to damage Trump. It was reported Trump told people to drink bleach and it was repeated verbatim even though it wasn’t true. Some on this forum repeated that lie and they probably still believe it to this day.
I have no idea if it’s a valid strategy against a Covid infection. Might be. I have no idea if the FDA has already evaluated it or has it on their schedule to evaluate in the future.
