Ivermectin in South Africa

Ivermectin is thriving on the country's black market, where one tablet can sell for as much as 25 pounds. Some doctors in South Africa have been prescribing the worm drug to COVID-19 patients claiming anecdotally that it alleviates virus symptoms. The health agency this month received a high court order to permit the off-label prescription of IvermECTin by doctors.
