US FDA, nagbabala sa paggamit ng Ivermectin: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it,”

Ang Ivermectin ay isang anti-parasitic drug na ginagamit sa mga hayop at di dapat ginagamit na panggamot o pang-iwas sa COVID-19, batay sa US Food and Drug Administration nitong Sabado.

Nagbabala ang Mississippi State Department of Health sa isang pahayag hinggil sa pag-inom ng nasabing gamot.

Nakatanggap kasi ang Mississippi Poison Control center ng tumataas na bilang ng tawag mula sa mga taong gumamit ng ivermectin na nangailangan ng medical support at naospital matapos mag self-medicate.

Nasa 70% sa kanila ang uminom ng ivermectin na para lamang sa mga hayop at binili sa livestock supply center.

May ganitong gamot din para sa tao, pero nilinaw ng US Food and Drug Administration na hindi pa nila aprubado ang ivermectin bilang gamot sa COVID-19.

“There are approved uses for ivermectin in both people and animals. Patients should be advised to not take any medications intended to treat animals and should be instructed to only take ivermectin as prescribed by their physician,” lahad ng Mississippi State Department of Health .

“Animal drugs are highly concentrated for large animals and can be highly toxic in humans. Some of the symptoms associated with ivermectin toxicity include rash, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, neurologic disorders, and potentially severe hepatitis requiring hospitalization.”

Ipinagbawal ng US FDA ang pag-inom ng nasabing gamot.

“You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it,” tweet ng US FDA.

Sa ngayon, 37% pa lamang ng populasyon ng Mississippi ang fully vaccinated.
