Oxford University is going to investigate the effectiveness of ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment.
Emeritus Professor Robert Clancy, an immunologist at the University of Newcastle, tells Paul Turton that he believes they’ll find the drug useful, and that it will become part of our coronavirus response.

“(N)umber one, generally well tolerated; number two, dizziness; number three, pruritus; number four, nausea/diarrhea. These are the side effects for the dosage that’s being asked to be administered,” he said. “The risks of these side effects are so minimal that Mr. Ng’s current situation outweighs that risk by one-hundredfold.”
