To the Editor
The integrity of our meta-analyses of trial data on Ivermectin for prevention and treatment of Covid-19 is questioned by authors of a recent Cochrane review. We agree that misleading information on Covid-19 treatment abounds in social and mainstream media as well as in journal opinion pieces. However, Bryant et al is a non-commissioned research paper that strictly followed PRISMA systematic review guidelines.
