Rejected petition Make Ivermectin available over the counter in the UK

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

More details

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.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

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.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
