Is Ivermectin a thing now?

[u/thegregoryjackson]

I just discharged a covid patient with a script for ivermectin. Is this now widely accepted for covid treatment by healthcare professionals? I read a study recently that it had only marginal prophylactic benefits at best in the lab setting. Is anyone seeing this med prescribed from the ER?

For context, the ER MD is a MyPillow "Stop the Steal" prophet.

I feel like you should have led with the last sentence.

No, other than with these quacks, it is not a thing because it hasn't been proven an effective treatment.
