After years of denigrating ivermectin as dangerous and as “horse medicine,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been forced to retreat on its all-out attack on the medicine after three doctors sued the agency in federal court for impeding their right as medical providers to prescribe the medicine to their patients.
The FDA made a key admission in court during an Tuesday proceeding in which lawyers for the doctors asked the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals whether doctors have a right to prescribe ivermectin since the FDA approved the drug for use in humans way back in 1986.
So, what was the FDA’s shocking admission?
"FDA explicitly recognizes that doctors do have the authority to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID,” Ashley Cheung Honold, a Department of Justice lawyer representing the FDA, said on Tuesday during the oral arguments in the case, the Epoch Times reported.
This seems to be a major retreat from the agency’s former antagonism toward the drug and the right of doctors to prescribe it.
Readers may recall that once the pandemic was in full swing, some doctors began reporting anecdotal evidence that ivermectin seemed to help some patients avoid or ease the symptoms of the coronavirus. But almost immediately, the FDA jumped into high gear to destroy the reputation of the drug and to persuade doctors to avoid prescribing it, discouraging pharmacies from selling it even with a doctor’s prescription.
In fact, the FDA was so adamant to stop people from considering the drug that it launched a cynical effort to label it “horse medicine” and, therefore, unfit for use in humans.

Most here will not have had a thorough genetic test.
There are issues taking this drug if you have p450 problems or a p-glycoprotein issue.
For those of you that have had a whole genome test ...you need to check this gene

criminals, murderers, thieves.
It can be bad for you. I am glad I never took the “full” human dose. I had a script for human dosage.
But as it turns out I have major problems related to taking that drug. It would have been risky for me to take it.
I have taken it at a much smaller dosage and with no food so as not to exacerbate the dosage.
I took it after I found out I was exposed.
Had a day with a fever and a runny nose. My friends (who didn’t take it) that were exposed when I was spent 5 days in bed
We knew in April 2020 that African nations taking Ivermectin for River Blindness weren’t getting Covid!!!
Fauxi said in the very beginning (January 2020) that masks don’t stop respiratory virus (trained surgeon here and know they don’t) and this is just a bad flu.
Last time he told the truth.
Evil, lying, greedy people, both government and big pharma.
Fast forward two years and I get a letter from the California Board of Pharmacy asking if that particular pharmacy had filled a scrip for Ivermectin for me because they were conducting an investigation in advance of discipline for the pharmacist. The letter didn't ask, but ordered me to call the investigator's office line to be interrogated. I really did enjoy that phone call (the investigator not so much), but the state of California was straight-up conducting a witch hunt to punish any licensee who dared to go against the establishment and media line.
The rule of law is well and truly gone in the blue states.
I loathe them. Stupid inbred elites.
Effing, or perhaps non-effing, Karens.
When the FDA made that statement, Ivermectin was already in use for various cancer treatments.
—-Correct
There was a full blown war to stop ivermectin.
Because showing it worked would have prevented the use of the experimental rna shot.
Crap just makes me mad.
The Emergency Use Authorization for the vax is predicated on no other available treatments…
I never got to take the drug. My primary care guy got hysterical about it. Of course he got hysterical when I refused the vax. How did you convince your person to prescribe it or did you find a different source?
Science is a long way from where it should be. Drs understanding of current science is even worse.
I now have a red flag in the data base to alert druggists to medication issues. The problem is Science doesn’t agree on which drugs will be problematic for me. It is an emerging science.
What was okay last year after a new study may not be okay this year.
Not one Doctor thought to test me for drug interaction issues despite me saying over and over and over again drugs don’t work right on me. I had to go get the test myself and prove I had a problem.
I forsee having all kinds of issues with this. Drs seem to be clueless.
I used myfreedoctor.com.
They have changed their business model so I can’t vouch for what they do now but it was easy for me to get the scripts. I don’t remember what I paid them. You could get a script for free but I did pay them something.
I did have to go to more than one pharmacy for the filling of the Plaquenil script.
Bet they are non-effing Karens.
Is it wrong for me to wish bad things upon Anthony Fauci? Can he just have real world consequences for his injustices?
I hope he is rebuked for his crimes against humanity, at the very least.
they still do covid..not sure if they will prescribe as a preventative

The FDA and government did a great thing with that drug that caused all those birth defects in pregnant women in other countries. they refused to allow it in the US for nausea.
That is about the only good thing I have to say about the FDA.
