What the Evidence Shows

The claim that the FDA is now saying it is okay to take ivermectin if you have COVID-19 is inaccurate. The FDA has consistently stated that ivermectin is approved for use as an antiparasitic medication and has not authorized its use for COVID-19 treatment outside of clinical trials or specific veterinary contexts.en.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.orgIvermectin Despite misinformation circulating online, including from sources like Pravda FR which appear to promote conspiracy narratives without credible evidence,francais.news-pravda.comfrancais.news-pravda.com« La FDA dit maintenant qu'il est possible de prendre de l'ivermectine si vous... the FDA's official position remains unchanged.

The agency has warned against using ivermectin intended for animals to treat or prevent COVID-19 in humans due to safety concerns. No recent authoritative FDA announcements support the claim that ivermectin is now endorsed for COVID-19 treatment. This claim likely stems from misinterpretation or deliberate misinformation.
