There has been a rapid increase in invermectin dispensing in the US and in South Africa it is even being sold out of the back of cars at pharmacies and at doctors’ offices.
Cape Town – The US Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organisation have both warned against the use of Ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of Covid-19, and the SA Health Products Regulatory Authority has cautioned against black market sales.
Cindy Greely, who owns horses in northern Wisconsin, told The Washington Post that stores appear to be limiting the amount of ivermectin that customers can buy, or they are completely out of stock, with prices more than doubling. Since early July 2021, outpatient ivermectin dispensing has begun to rapidly increase, reaching more than 88 000 prescriptions in the week ending August 13, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. This represents a 24-fold increase from the pre-pandemic baseline.
Dr EV Rapiti’s Mitchells Plain, Cape Town, waiting room is full of Covid-19 patients. In an office behind the waiting room, there are empty boxes labelled"ivermectin" underneath desks.
