Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of Ivermectin as a treatment for covid-19.
Currently, ivermectin for oral use is not a licensed human medicine in the United Kingdom. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is aware that ivermectin, administered orally, is being studied for safety and efficacy in numerous clinical trials worldwide, including in the UK. While some studies have reported findings, other large studies are still on-going.
