IVERMECTIN ALERT
We are seeing a spike in cases related to ivermectin, a deworming medication. We’ve treated 27 patients so far in August, with most of them related to inappropriate use of ivermectin made for livestock.

Some of these cases involved serious side effects, including seizures. Please note, ivermectin has not been authorized or approved by the FDA for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19.

Our doctors, nurses and pharmacists are here 24/7 at 1-800-222-1222 if you have questions. #ToxTuesday ... See MoreSee Less
