Male sterility not a known side effect of ivermectin

CLAIM: Ivermectin causes reduced sperm count or sterility in men.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says claims that the parasite drug ivermectin can cause infertility in men are unproven. The study used to support the claims was based on about three dozen men in Nigeria a decade ago, and has been called into question for flaws in its research methods as well as problems with the journal’s peer review process.
