Even though the price difference is "still affordable", he said, the police are still enforcing the rules. This is because these drugs are being sought by the public for the treatment of Covid-19.
Polrestabes Bandung will cooperate with the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation of the West Java Police to check Ivermectin at pharmacies.
"Before the Permenkes was issued, many people were looking for (Ivermectin), then the price was already above the average, some even reached IDR 500,000-700,000", said AKBP Adanan.
In addition to monitoring the availability and price of Ivermectin, "We also continue to check places where oxygen cylinder filling stations are", he said.
