Study: Ivermectin Does Not Reduce Hospitalization From COVID-19 Infection
The experiment enrolled 3,515 symptomatic COVID-19 patients in Brazil who were randomly assigned different treatments for the disease – 679 received ivermectin, another 670 got placebo and the remaining group got another treatment.
The study found that 14.7% of patients in the ivermectin group and 16.3% of the placebo group had to go to the hospital. “Treatment with ivermectin did not result in a lower incidence of medical admission to a hospital due to progression of COVID-19 or of prolonged emergency department observation among outpatients with an early diagnosis of COVID-19,” the study concluded.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
