The claim
Postagens afirmam que pesquisas científicas indicam que a ivermectina “pode curar câncer, Parkinson, danos causados por vacinas e muito mais”. Uma das publicações questiona: “Dá para entender porquê (sic) demonizam tanto esse medicamento secular?”.
Original review summary
The review reports that ivermectin is not indicated for cancer or purported vaccine-related injuries, and cites the Brazilian oncology society saying there is no scientific basis for an association with cancer. It also reports that Anvisa has approved ivermectin for specified parasitic infections, not other conditions.[S1]
Additional context
Anvisa’s statement in the review lists approved uses for several parasitic infections and says there is no approved indication for ivermectin in other conditions. [S1]
