A Butler County judge in Ohio has ordered a hospital to administer Ivermectin to a ventilated COVID-19 patient, granting an emergency relief filed by the patient's wife.
Ler County Common Pleas Judge Gregory Howard ruled last week that West Chester Hospital, part of the University of Cincinnati's health network UC Health, must "Immediately administer Ivermectin" to patient Jeffrey Smith following his doctor's prescription of 30 mg of Ivermectin for 21 days, the Ohio Capital Journal reported.
"There is no reason why the defendant cannot approve or authorize other forms of treatments so long as the benefits outweigh the risks." Julie had read about some lawsuits reported by Chicago Tribune and The Buffalo News where patients in severe condition from COVID-19 later recovered after being given Ivermectin.
Federal Agencies Oppose Ivermectin For COVID-19 Ivermectin is a drug that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat certain infections caused by internal and external parasites.
Last Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an official health advisory, reiterating its opposition to the use of Ivermectin for COVID-19 treatment.
"The National Institutes of Health's COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel has also determined that there are currently insufficient data to recommend Ivermectin for treatment of COVID-19." "Adverse effects associated with Ivermectin misuse and overdose are increasing, as shown by a rise in calls to poison control centers reporting overdoses and more people experiencing adverse effects," the advisory continued.
FDA warned on its website that taking large doses of Ivermectin is "Dangerous and can cause serious harm." The agency also stressed that Ivermectin products for animals are different from products for people because animal drugs are often highly concentrated.
