TGA issues ‘cease and desist’ warnings to six practices spruiking ivermectin

It comes amid the watchdog's ban on GPs prescribing the antiparasitic off-label

The TGA has issued cease and desist notices to six medical practices it says have been advertising ivermectin to treat COVID-19.

It follows a four-fold increase in prescriptions for the antiparasitic, prompting a ban on off-label prescribing by GPs last month.
