The Philippine Medical Association on Sunday warned doctors against prescribing or compounding ivermectin outside hospitals granted compassionate special permit.

MANILA - The Philippine Medical Association on Sunday warned doctors against prescribing or compounding ivermectin outside hospitals that have been granted a compassionate special permit.

It said its infectious medicine specialists also reviewed case studies and "do not recommend use of ivermectin for prophylaxis nor treatment of COVID-19" as the studies "had low confidence certainty due to high risk of bias and low overall quality of evidence." "The unlawful sale of the drug product bought abroad but not registered with the FDA is also illegal. PMA hereby cautions physicians not to prescribe or compound the medicine Ivermectin outside of the approved compassionate use hospitals," it said.
