Original Note:
Whilst the benefits of Ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19 are disputed, it is commonly used to treat other conditions in humans such as intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis. The claim that it is only approved to be used as a horse dewormer is false. https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-should-not-use-ivermectin-treat-or-prevent-covid-19#:~:text=Ivermectin%20tablets%20are%20approved%20by,skin%20conditions%20such%20as%20rosacea. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8088823/
