But despite their warnings, they are finding it hard to keep animal ivermectin in stock, workers at retailers specializing in animal products told The Epoch Times.
Ivermectin formulated for humans seems to be increasingly difficult to obtain. On social media, there are flurries of requests for advice about how and where to find a doctor willing to prescribe it and pharmacies willing to fill those prescriptions.
As more people turn to feed stores to obtain ivermectin, some retailers have resorted to asking shoppers to show pictures of themselves with their animals as evidence they need ivermectin for use with livestock.
The struggle stems from the fact that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the use of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19. An FDA webpage warning against using ivermectin also affirms that clinical trials investigating it as a COVID-19 treatment are ongoing.
Ivermectin, formulated in small white tablets for human use, is readily available in some countries as an over-the-counter medicine. It’s been used for about 40 years to treat humans infected with parasites and viruses. Studies about the safety and efficacy of using ivermectin in the treatment for COVID-19 have led to all or part of 22 countries approving its use to treat COVID-19.
