Northern Territory clinic warns against sourcing or using ivermectin to treat COVID-19

ABC  

A "handful" of people have caused concern at a Northern Territory health clinic after asking about an unproven treatment normally used to treat parasites in humans and animals, instead of vaccines, to treat COVID-19. Key points: Practitioners at a Top End chain of health clinics have been asked by "a handful" of patients about a non-standard drug to treat COVID-19 This has prompted the clinic to issue a warning to Territorians Imports of the drug in question, ivermectin, have increased, prompting warnings from authorities Danila Dilba Health Clinic, which runs seven clinics across the Top End, has warned Territorians against using alternative treatments, such as ivermectin, and has reinforced its message to get vaccinated. "It is a real worry that people might be looking for these unproven treatments," Dr Webster told ABC Radio Darwin's Late Breakfast. TGA says 'no way' Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration has "detected increased importation and prescribing" of ivermectin recently.
