Several Opposition lawmakers push for Ivermectin to treat Covid-19, but Bandar Kuching MP urges evidence-based approach

PETALING JAYA: Several Opposition MPs in Parliament pushed for the use of Ivermectin – an anti-parasitic drug whose efficacy and safety in treating Covid-19 have yet to be conclusively determined – to treat Covid-19.

However, DAP's Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii later tweeted that any use of Ivermectin should be evidence-based.
