Merck says their studies have shown that Ivermectin does not work as a treatment for Covid-19..

does not work as a treatment for Covid-19.

“It is important to note that, to date, our analysis has identified no scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect against Covid-19 from pre-clinical studies, no meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with Covid-19 disease, and a concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies,” the statement read.

Merck’s spokesperson Patrick Ryan said that Ivermectin was only approved in the US under the brand name Stromectol and indicated that the medication could only be used for the treatment of intestinal roundworms. “Ivermectin is approved in the United States under the brand name Stromectol. It is indicated for the treatment of intestinal [i.e, non-disseminated] strongyloidiasis due to the nematode parasite strongyloides stercoralis and for the treatment of onchocerciasis due to the nematode parasite onchocerca volvulus,” said Ryan.

Ryan lamented that they did not believe that the data available supported the safety and usefulness of Ivermectin beyond the doses and populations indicated in the regulatory agency-approved prescribing information.
