6 Days Higher-Dose Ivermectin vs. Placebo on Time to Sustained Recovery in COVID-19 Outpatients
jamanetwork.comAmong a largely vaccinated outpatient population with mild to moderate COVID-19, treatment with ivermectin, with a targeted maximum dose of 600 μg/kg daily for 6 days, compared with placebo was not shown to improve time to recovery in more than 1,200 participants in the US during a period of Omicron variant/subvariant circulation.
No evidence of benefit was observed for secondary clinical outcomes, including the composite of hospitalization, death, or acute care visits.
Among outpatients with mild or moderate COVID-19, treatment with ivermectin, with a targeted maximum dose of 600 μg/kg daily for 6 days, was not shown to improve time to sustained recovery compared with placebo. These findings do not support the use of ivermectin in outpatients with COVID-19.
