   Findings   
   In this randomized clinical trial that included 476 patients, the duration of   
   symptoms was not significantly different for patients who received a 5-day   
   course of ivermectin compared with placebo (median time to resolution of   
   symptoms, 10 vs 12 days; hazard ratio for resolution of symptoms, 1.07).   
      
   Meaning   
   The findings do not support the use of ivermectin for treatment of mild   
   COVID-19, although larger trials may be needed to understand effects on other   
   clinically relevant outcomes.

   The above is considered the best designed randomized clinical trial for   
   ivermectin.   
      
      
      
   A meta-analysis of multiple papers:   
      
   "We found no evidence to support the use of ivermectin for treating or   
   preventing COVID‐19 infection, but the evidence base is limited."

   Fact:  ivermectin is *not shown* to be effective either prophylactically or   
   therapeutically.  That's why it isn't an approved treatment.  It is highly   
   unlikely ever to become an approved treatment against COVID-19.
