Drugmaker MSD says its analysis of available data does not support the safety and efficacy of its anti-parasite drug ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19.

Ivermectin is used mainly to treat roundworms, threadworms and other parasites but has been investigated as a possible treatment for COVID-19.
