On 10 September 2021 the TGA placed new restrictions on the prescribing of oral ivermectin. GPs can only prescribe ivermectin for TGA-approved conditions (scabies and certain parasitic infections). Some specialists are permitted to prescribe ivermectin for unapproved indications (off-label).
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have warned against using Ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19.
