Petition Action

Make Ivermectin available over the counter in the UK

Petition Details

We want Ivermectin human use tablets such as are available over the counter in other countries and states in America to be available over the counter in the UK

Additional Information

We want this because it will vastly improve the health of the public as this medication has multiple usage. It is cheap and effective and was approved for human use in 1987. It is on the WHO list of essential medication and two scientists won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of Ivermectin in 2015. We want to lessen the burden on the NHS and improve everyone’s overall health.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Decisions related to determining which medical drugs are available over the counter are a matter for the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), not the UK Government or Parliament.
