Indonesian Hospitals to Test Ivermectin for COVID-19 Therapy
Manila Bulletin ^ | June 29, 2021

Eight hospitals in Indonesia are set to conduct clinical trials on Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medicine that has appeared to be a potential COVID-19 medication, following a permit issued by the national agency of drug and food control (BPOM).

BPOM’s head Penny K. Lukito said at a press conference on Monday that global data and guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) show that Ivermectin, previously used for deworming, can also be used for COVID-19 treatment. However, data are still being collected and the results are not conclusive.

Clinical trials are expected to be conducted over a period of three months.

Lukito has called on the public not to take this medicine freely considering that Ivermectin must be prescribed by doctors.

Sounds like Indonesia is getting tired of having to deal with the virus and wants to get back to normal.

Good for them.
