South Africa allows using ivermectin for Covid-19

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Ivermectin may now be used in SA for the treatment of Covid-19. That is the upshot of a settlement agreement, made an order of court, in four applications against the SA Health Products Regulatory Authority (Sahpra).

In terms of the agreement, the anti-parasitic drug can now be "compounded" and prescribed legally for the treatment of specific patients.

Doctors no longer have to use the "compassionate use" programme, initiated by Sahpra earlier this year, in which doctors had to apply through the authority's Section 2 "compassionate use" programme (for unregistered medicines) for permission to use the drug to prevent and treat Covid-19.

The order states pharmacists and doctors are permitted to make up small batches of medicine containing ivermectin on prescription by a doctor and in small quantities.

The court applications were brought by general practitioner George Coetzee with AfriForum, the ACDP and Doctors for Life, a group of pharmacies and the "I can Make a Difference" group of medical practitioners.
