Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medication, is used primarily on animals but also for parasitic worms in some humans. It has not been proven to be an effective treatment against coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The FDA has, for example, stated: \u201cWhile there are approved uses for ivermectin in people and animals, it is not approved for the prevention or treatment of Covid-19\u201d.<\/p>\n

Other doctors also took to Twitter to warn against the misuse of Twitter:<\/p>\n

Laurence Fox is suffering from #COVID…nnI pray he can get over it. It’s ironic that:n- you get a condition you didn’t take seriously.n- you diagnose it using tests you don\u2019t believe in.n- you use unapproved medication for treatment. Despite the fact that you rely upon your immune systemnnGurl…<\/p>\n

I wish Laurence Fox a very speedy recovery – but itu2019s important to stress there is no clear evidence that Ivermectin (a horse de-wormer) reduces the risks of catching Covid, or its severity.nnWe do have excellent evidence-based Covid treatments, though.https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/culture\/2022\/jan\/30\/laurence-fox-has-coronavirus-and-taking-ivermectin?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Otheru00a0u2026<\/p>\n

It is still being sold by Joe Rogan, who said he was using the drug when he tested positive to coronavirus in September 2021. US broadcaster Tucker Carlson<\/a>Fox News’s host had promoted the drug as well. UFC president Dana White<\/a>Rogan also said that he had taken the drug, after he was advised by Rogan. Rogan tested positive for the drug.<\/p>\n

Fox was a vocal opponent of vaccines and lockdowns, and used it as a key pillar in his mayoral campaign. He posted a recent photo in which he was wearing a top that stated the following. “no vaccine needed, I have an immune system”He even wrote an anti-mask song. This didn’t go down very well.<\/p>\n

We do hope that he feels better soon. However, the ibuprofen may be more effective.<\/p>\n
