The ivermectin drug that is used to treat COVID-19 patients has already arrived in the country and will be available in pharmacies nationwide as of Tuesday, Agency for Medicine and Medical Devices (MALMED) director Lirim Shabani told MIA.
“The medicine has arrived in the country and final procedures are underway to make it available for purchase, probably starting tomorrow. The price of the medicine is set by the Ministry of Health, but I believe it will cost around Mden 300,” said Shabani.
Last week he said that all requests from hospitals and wholesalers that have met the conditions have been approved.
