Sixteen doctors fined for prescribing ivemectin, hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid

NL Times  

The Dutch healthcare and youth care inspectorate, IGJ, fined 16 doctors accused of prescribing the drugs ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid-19. In fact, the standards and protocols of the profession explicitly state that there is no flexibility to use these substances for the off-label use treatment of Covid-19,” the inspectorate stated. At the time, there were reports of some people angrily demanding their doctors prescribe the medication, which Gommers said was “unacceptable.” The malaria medication hydroxycloroquine was initially found to be ineffective in treating Covid-19 during a study at the Amsterdam University Medical Center. The drug was later determined to have some positive effect on intensive care admissions if used immediately during a larger Dutch study, but it had no noticeable effect on the mortality rate of Covid-19.
