Scenic Drive listener details his Ivermectin experience
Updated | By Scenic Drive With Rian
Phillip from Tzaneen decided to use Ivermectin after testing positive for COVID-19, despite health warning from experts.

Phillip decided to use the Ivermectin after receiving medication which didn't help. This is what he had to say about the drug.
A fierce debate has raged in South Africa over the past couple of months about the use of Ivermectin, with many South Africans asking government and the SA Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) to make it legal for humans to use.
In South Africa, Ivermectin is only available to use by animals for parasites and is not approved by the regulatory body for treatment in humans.

"I went to the doctor first - and he gave me medication. I used all the medication - and nothing worked," he told the Scenic Drive team.
Phillip claims he felt better by day five - and has now urged government to launch more studies on the effect of Ivermectin on those infected by COVID-19.
