Not sure which part of the DOH advisory is disinformation.
They gave a strong warning so people don't start taking ********** made for animal. ********** is readily available here at almost every feed store.
The DOH did mention that ********** is not approved for treating viral infections in people. My guess is the Philippines takes their advise from the WHO, which is sensible as there probably is not a lot of cutting edge research done in this country.
