MANILA, Philippines — Another private hospital was given a Compassionate Special Permit (CSP) to use Ivermectin as treatment for COVID-19 patients, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said yesterday.
According to FDA director general Eric Domingo, there are now two private hospitals, which he refused to identify, that can use the mainly veterinary drug to treat their COVID-19 patients.
“As of (Thursday), there was a second hospital applicant for CSP. (Yesterday) morning, it was approved already,” he noted.
The CSP is valid for one year and can only be used by doctors of these hospitals.
But Domingo stressed there is still no evidence on the therapeutic benefits of Ivermectin on coronavirus patients, adding that experts looked into 11 reports on the use of Ivermectin based on clinical practice guidelines.
“It shows that the effect on the patients given placebo and Ivermectin is the same. So the conclusion of our experts, so far, is that there is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of Ivermectin against COVID-19,” he maintained.
Under the protocols, hospitals granted a CSP can use Ivermectin on an indicated number of patients. Once they consume the number of patients in their application, they can apply for CSP again.

Ping for your interest
No evidence it works....yet, it was granted...and, the ocation being kept a secret....for the well connected?
I don’t understand the logic of it being given Compassionate Special Permit ( as per the article ).
If it doesn’t work and is dangerous, you don’t give it that permit at all. You only give it this permit if you believe that it works. But if it works, why for limit it only to two hospitals for crying out loud?
Darn, the entire country is on lockdown and cases are growing and hospitals are being inundated with patients — ALLOW DOCTORS TO PRESCRIBE IT !!
The article says no evidence that Ivermectin works , yet they use it in the hospital.
The socialist press does not want Ivermectin to work, because it guarantees freedom of the individual.
Ivermectin does work, both as therapy and prophylaxis, as therapy when administered early in the development of the disease.

“Once they consume the number of patients in their application”
will they be serving peas with that?
I posted what I am thinking the reason is.
FYI
this is good, tho. A hospital-based study on mild and serious patients instead of scattered, ancedotal evidence. PI data is data I’d trust.
I don’t know if cases are rising, but my son just came out of a hospital, and it was not crowded at all. I just got back from grocery shopping. It was crowded in the store. Outside, it was wall to wall people. They are not locked down. Some places, like Manila, may be temporarily, but most places are not. They are wearing the stupid masks, but they are not locked down.
