Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) says he has prescribed ivermectin to his patients as a treatment for COVID-19.
Harris, who is a practicing anesthesiologist, said while co-hosting a local Baltimore radio program with his wife last month that he supports the medication being prescribed as a treatment for coronavirus, The Washington Post reported.
The use of ivermectin, which is commonly used to treat parasitic worm infections as a veterinary medicine and has sometimes been used to treat humans, has been controversial, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has advised against using the drug as a COVID-19 treatment.
"I wrote a prescription for ivermectin, I guess it's now three weeks ago, four weeks ago, and yeah, couldn't find a pharmacy to fill it," he said on the "Casey & Company" show, according to the Post. "It's gotten bad. ... The pharmacists are just refusing to fill it."

Politicians who insist hospitals treat with iverm... and hydroxy... should write the prescription and specify the dosage.
