FDA Analysis
The US FDA recommended against ivermectin on March 5, 2021, however they state that "The FDA has not reviewed data to support use of ivermectin in COVID-19 patients to treat or to prevent COVID-19". This recommendation has not been updated for 185 days.
The FDA notes that they "received multiple reports of patients who have required medical support and been hospitalized after self-medicating with ivermectin intended for horses". The number of reports was 4 [Pfeiffer]. For comparison, acetaminophen overdose results in ~33,000 yearly hospitalizations in the USA (~12,000 unintentional) [Charilaou]. The FDA's recommendation may increase cases of self-medication with animal ivermectin, because it reduces the percentage of prescribing physicians.
They say that "Ivermectin is not an anti-viral", however many studies contradict this [Ahmed, Aref, Babalola, Biber, Bukhari, Caly, Chowdhury, Elalfy, Espitia-Hernandez, Khan, Mahmud, Mohan, Mourya, Okumu], including 9 RCTs.
They note that "some initial research is underway", however there had been many studies completed and published prior to the FDA recommendation [Afsar, Ahmed, Alam, Babalola, Behera, Bernigaud, Biber, Budhiraja, Bukhari, Cadegiani, Camprubí, Carvallo (C), Chaccour, Chachar, Chahla (B), Chowdhury, Elalfy, Espitia-Hernandez, Gonzalez, Gorial, Hashim, Hellwig, Khan, Lima-Morales, López-Medina, Mahmud, Mohan, Niaee, Okumu, Podder, Rajter, Ravikirti, Samaha, Shouman, Spoorthi], including 19 RCTs.
