Japan started clinical trials on Ivermectin early 2021, from what little I could find about the trials is it seemed to help quite a bit in the early stage when symptoms first showed but did nothing if you were one of the unlucky one who needed a ventilator to live and likely to die, by that point it was too late. People on the right seem to treat it like a wonder drug, it's not a cure all potion from an rpg but it does help those who catch it early and don't just assume flu or cold.....Hydroxy whatever the name seems to be better though.
Obviously a therapy will only work while you have the disease it is treating. Agents that work against the virus will only work while you have the virus.
Ivermectin shows considerable effectiveness even in late treatment, indicating that some virus is still present or it has some other mechanism of action as well (such as anti-inflammation).

This is well better than hydroxychloroquine at all stages.
