Infertility is not a known side effect of Ivermectin, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Claims that Ivermectin causes infertility in men that recently spread online were based on a flawed 2011 study from Nigeria that included only 37 subjects. A person wearing a lab coat and medical gloves is pictured holding a box containing a bottle of the drug in Cali, Colombia, on July 21, 2020.Viral claims that the drug Ivermectin causes infertility in 85 percent of men were based on the questionable conclusions of a 2011 study that included only 37 subjects.
The infertility claim spread quickly due to Ivermectin increasingly being used by some as an unapproved, and likely ineffective, treatment for COVID-19. The 85 percent figure did not come from the Nigerian study itself, but rather from a different study that it references, although no record of the study could be found in the journal cited. The Nigerian study, which was conducted without a control group, also tested the drug's possible effects on male fertility.
