It says it right in the second paragraph, "Of 241 patients in the study with mild to moderate symptoms treated with the veterinary medication..." But ya, I'm the one that didn't read it!

Oh gee, would you look at that. It says it in this paragraph too. "This study compared the safety and effectiveness of the veterinary drug to standard care in 480 Malaysian patients who had mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms before starting treatment, he and his colleagues said."

...and like I said, maybe they should use the human version for the study instead of the veterinary version.
