Only “controversial” because the Bad Orange Man used it.
See, “fringe medics” think Ivermectin can treat COVID but “experts” think it can treat scabies.
Use a horse dewormer on humans? Thats just crazy talk!
Everybody knows drugs have only one use and one use only! /s
What a misleading line, and this was repeated by the MSM all through the last 3 years. Many drugs prescribed to humans are used in veterinary medicine.
Check out any pet website, and you see drug prescriptions for pets no different than the drugs used by humans, everything from high blood pressure drugs to headache medication.
Too late, I done bought it all! It turns out that it’s great to spread over a crisp Ritz cracker- especially the “green apple” flavored Ivermectin.
Next thing you know the experts will be telling us that the blood thinner ‘aspirin’ cures headaches. Madness!
It must be a “UK off-label use” problem...not a problem in the USA, Ivermectin already approved for human scabies treatment, and even if it wasn’t....Dr.’s can go “off-label” use if they want in the US.

The FDA does not “approve” drugs. The FDA licenses drugs.
Ivermectin is a licensed drug. There are coupons on GoodRx for it.
The FDA can and does list “indications” for licensed drugs, and they would LIKE to have the authority to restrict use to “indications”, such as “ivermectin is INDICATED for treatment of ascariasis” - but they have no such authority now,
So, pharmacists are asking for something that does not exist under US law, which is FDA permission to fill a prescription for a licensed drug,
The miracle drug. The drug the Vax engineers wanted to be banned.
CDC will recommend ventilators, 4 mask and social distancing.
“controversial ‘horse de-wormer’ drug”
So ridiculous. It wasn’t controversial or considered only a veterinary drug until 2020. Ivermectin has been used in humans since 1988.
“It is used to treat a variety of internal nematode infections, including Onchocerciasis, Strongyloidiasis, Ascariasis, cutaneous larva migrans, filariases, Gnathostomiasis and Trichuriasis, as well as for oral treatment of ectoparasitic infections, such as Pediculosis (lice infestation) and scabies (mite infestation).” https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/pjab/87/2/87_2_13/_article
It has been used for scabies for at least a decade:

Oh the nursing homes where 100% of patients were given the jab, multiple times.
Ok, got it
Scabies cases (un-reportedly) are coming across the open southern border.
People are gonna have a hard time swallowing those horse pills.
“The drug became infamous during the Covid pandemic due to claims by fringe medics that it might be a suitable treatment, and even a vaccination alternative, despite a lack of credible evidence.”
This is when I stopped reading. This writer is full of bias and crap... would be willing to bet he/she has had covid multiple times...
Darn sure wear a mask in a scabbies pandemic.
Who would want those little boogers up your nose?
It never was a controversial drug until the left made it one, just like they do with everything they don’t like.
Label it controversial and people will think it is.
Off to Tractor Supply!
Have psoriasis.
Know a dude that takes it for osteoarthritis, so there is something there....
