| | '''Ivermectin''' is an off-[[patent]] (generic), inexpensive medication which was originally produced by [[Merck]]. It has also been known by various trade names, including Stromectol and Sklice. It was made commercially available in 1981, and has been widely used since then for a variety of parasitic infections, as well as a few anti-viral applications. The patent for this self-proclaimed "wonder drug" expired in 1996, and it is now available from over a dozen generic manufacturers, for around $0.40 per dose (as of 2022). Due to its significant safety and effectiveness, it was added to the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, about 30% of prescriptions in the United States for Ivermectin were for "off-label" use.<ref name="The real Anthony Fauci">Kennedy, R. F. (2022). Chapter 8.
