Family doctors are still waiting for official directions for treatment with the drug "ivermectin" and its dosage. The President of the Association of Family Doctors Lilija Cholakova Dervishova says that according to the instructions, the dosage of the drug "Ivermetkin" is 0,2 mg per kilogram of body weight.

It can be prescribed to children over 17 kg, but she personally has no experience in the treatment with this drug.

- I personally addressed the Minister of Health, Venko Filipce and asked for a protocol for treatment with "ivermetkin". This is a new medicine, it is coming to Macedonia for the first time and we do not want to experiment with it. These are our patients, human lives that we must not experiment with. It is not permissible, so far, to consult with each other how to dose. We lack treatment protocols for three conditions, in chronic patients who are healthy, for patients positive for covid-19, but in the initial stage also in severe patients, because the treatment for these three categories must not be the same, it is decisive. -r Cholakova.

According to her, This medicine should not be taken by pregnant women, especially in the first three months of pregnancy.
