More Idahoans are using ivermectin to treat COVID-19. Officials warn it could be dangerous [View all]
Treasure Valley pharmacists and officials are seeing more doctors prescribe ivermectin to treat and prevent COVID-19, going against the recommendations of federal and worldwide health officials, who say doing so can be dangerous.
The search for available ivermectin has even driven some to use animal versions of the product and hunt for physicians willing to prescribe it.
Ivermectin was first created in Japan in the 1970s and became known as a highly effective anti-parasitic drug. It’s been used across the world to treat a variety of diseases, including parasitic worms and head lice.
Recently, though, it’s been touted as an effective treatment against COVID-19, reportedly reducing the death and hospitalization rates in sick patients.
