The TGA is investigating promotion of an ivermectin-based regimen as a potential COVID-19 treatment by prominent gastroenterologist Adjunct Professor Thomas Borody.

Professor Borody last week called for GPs to prescribe the triple therapy protocol using ivermectin, doxycycline and zinc and has offered to share his suggested dosing regime with doctors who email him.
