Dear Minister
Introduction
I am a very healthy 74yo Australian male. I take great care with my diet which includes very few vitamins and mineral supplements. This ensures that I maintain my health, correct bodyweight & a strong immune system.
I am so healthy that I haven’t had a common cold for over 40 years and I haven’t needed to visit a doctor for some 5 years. This suddenly changed recently when I needed a prescription for two packs of Stromectol, the brand name for Ivermectin in Australia.
IVERMECTIN (STROMECTOL) PRESCRIPTION
Stromectol is available as a pack of 4 tablets, each of which contains 3mg of Ivermectin. A Standard Single Dose of Stromectol consists of 1×3mg tablet per 15-20kg of patient body weight.
Currently, Stromectol is only available in Australia on prescription. The prescription system provides an important means to control those medications which are an asset to society but which could also be a hazard due to their characteristics and potentially adverse effects on the human body, especially if it is misused or abused.
The prescription system becomes a curse when it unnecessarily controls the availability of any benign medication which has a wide range of capabilities, some of which have yet to be discovered. Ivermectin is one such benign medication, and especially in the recently discovered ability of Ivermectin to control the novel Coronavirus.
I recently became aware of the efficacious capabilities of Ivermectin with COVID-19 which had been discovered through “off-label” experimentation by various doctors and medical experts throughout the world — especially in the USA. (“Off-label” is defined as medication that has yet to receive official approval from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the FDA (USA) or any similar sovereign authority for use regarding any particular disease.) …continued in link
