Malacañang on Tuesday urged the public to wait for the recommendation of the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the application for the use of Ivermectin to treat Covid-19 patients.
Spokesperson Harry Roque issued the remark after Anakalusugan party-list Representative Mike Defensor said he would distribute Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug, to senior citizens and people with comorbidities in Quezon City.
“Ang Ivermectin kasi rehistrado siya pero hindi pang tao at for a different purpose, hindi pang COVID. Kung kayo may problema sa mga peste o may aso na may galis, yan ang binibigay,” Roque said in a televised briefing.
“Para sa Covid-19, wala pa tayong datos na nagpapakita na talagang epektibo siya bagamat meron na pong nag-apply for compassionate use. Ang aking pakiusap, antayin na lang po natin kasi mabilisan naman po yang desisyon ng FDA,” he added.
Asked if Defensor will be held accountable for pushing the use of Ivermectin against Covid-19, the Palace official said: “I will not give legal advice on something I am not engaged professionally.”
