FDA Refuses To Change Anti-Ivermectin Statements After Court Ruling

Anti-ivermectin statements made by the FDA are not being changed, even after an appeals court ruled against the agency.

The U.S. appeals court said that the FDA's statements, including one telling people to "Stop" using ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment, went beyond the authority conferred on the agency by Congress.

The appeals court did not order the FDA to take any action and remanded the case to a lower court for consideration on standing.

In a statement after the ruling was handed down, the agency noted that ivermectin is approved by the FDA but for other uses.

The FDA "Has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or treating COVID-19, nor has the agency stated that it is safe or effective for that use," the agency said.

Another FDA page may have been removed in the wake of the ruling.

The FDA had asked the appeals court to dismiss the case based on lack of standing.
