A new meta analysis on the controversial question of whether ivermectin has a beneficial role in management of COVID-19 this time reports in it’s favour. [1]

This is in contrast to a recent randomised study reported in HTB that found no benefit in mild infection. [2]

Other large randomised studies are ongoing but likely to report soon.

comment

Evidence from multiple studies and reviews proved that ivermectin is NOT active in treatment COVID-19.
