Many of my friends including those in the Medical Profession have given Ivermectin tablets a lot of praise as a wonderful drug for the prevention and treatment of COVID infection. This is against contrary claims by some scientists. Kindly advise.

It is true that Ivermectin tablets have been rated as a good drug to prevent COVID infection as well as in the treatment of the early stages of the infection by those who have used the drug. However, scientists are still divided on this claim due to insufficient evidence from research. Since COVID is a relatively new infection, it may take some time to fully understand everything about the infection. It will therefore be more practical to do everything to avoid catching the infection than relying on any drug alone. Social distancing, use of facemasks, frequent hand washing as well as vaccination will be my areas of advise.
