Summary

Use of certain off-label drugs has repeatedly been proven to be incredibly safe and effective. Specifically use of ivermectin to treat viral infections has an incredible amount of data to prove its efficacy, with a slim margin for risk.��� Access to off-label medication is not always ensured. For example, the Texas Medical Board has recently adopted increasingly restrictive rules regarding the administration of off-label medications.��������� Expanding access to ivermectin would offer Texans greater medical freedom by increasing their treatment options�particularly at a time when public skepticism toward traditional pharmaceuticals is on the rise. Professional testimony has indicated that ivermectin may have both preventative and therapeutic benefits, even in mild cases of illness.
