Abstract

Introduction: While  multiple  vaccines  are  undergoing  clinical  trial  across the  globe,  we  yearn  for  an  FDA  approved  drug  to  protect  us  from  the devastating pandemic for the time being. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Ivermectin when administered as pre-exposure prophylaxis for COVID-19…

Result: 73.3%  (44  out  of  60)  subjects  in  control  group were  positive  for COVID-19,  whereas  only  6.9%  (4  out  of  58)  of  the  experimental  group were diagnosed with COVID-19 (p-value < 0.05).

Conclusion: Ivermectin, an FDA-approved, safe, cheap and widely available drug, should be subjected to large-scale trials all over the world to ascertain its effectiveness as pre-exposure prophylaxis for COVID-19.”
