Can cancer patients take ivermectin?

My uncle is a cancer patient, and during the pandemic, there was a lot of talk about ivermectin. I've heard some people claim it has other benefits. Is it safe or advisable for cancer patients to take ivermectin?

As someone who manages diabetes daily, I know you cannot just pop any pill without checking how it affects your main condition. Taking ivermectin without prescription during cancer treatment can be highly dangerous and interfere with chemo. Please ask your oncologist first.

Please do not fall for internet rumors about ivermectin curing cancer. In my journey, I learned that sticking to the standard medical protocol is what actually works. Self-medicating with such drugs can damage your liver and kidneys when they are already under stress.

During my cancer recovery phase, my doctor warned me strictly against taking unapproved off-label drugs. Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic drug and there is no solid scientific proof it helps with cancer. Only take what your oncologist prescribes.

My elders always tell me to stay calm and not try every new medicine we hear about online. Ivermectin is not a standard cancer treatment. For any health issue, we always consult our family oncologist directly to keep our patient safe.

I completely understand how desperate and anxious we feel when trying to find any possible cure or help for our loved ones. But taking ivermectin without medical supervision can cause serious side effects. Please talk to your medical team before giving them anything.
