Original Note:
Ivermectin is not "approved to treat COVID." The FDA clarified that physicians can legally prescribe ivermectin for COVID treatment (off-label) as ivermectin is approved for other indications (strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis) but is not approved or effective for COVID. https://www.khou.com/article/news/verify/coronavirus-verify/fda-did-not-approve-ivermectin-covid-19-fact-check/536-88912619-12ba-4c66-9d9c-80feca37a059
