Small doses of Ivermectin are approved for use on humans, but health officials have warned against its use for Covid.

Anti-vaccine activists and conspiracy theorists have been promoting the drug as an alternative to vaccination.

The doctor who administered the drug said no inmates were forced to take it.

In a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the inmates said that after contracting Covid they were given a "cocktail of drugs" they were told contained vitamins, antibiotics and steroids.

It said they had been administered Ivermectin without prior informed consent.

The plaintiffs were named as Edrick Floreal-Wooten, Jeremiah Little, Julio Gonzales and Dayman Blackburn.

The lawsuit said they experienced problems with their vision, diarrhea and stomach cramps after taking the medication.

"No-one - including incarcerated individuals - should be deceived and subject to medical experimentation," said ACLU Arkansas legal director Gary Sullivan in a statement.
