However, ivermectin is not approved by the FDA specifically for Covid-19; it is FDA approved for other conditions. Physicians can still write prescriptions for ivermectin for Covid-19, but some pharmacies will refuse to fill the prescription, unless it is for scabies or another type of parasitic infection.
And never mind the fact a huge percentage of medications are used “off label” and nobody ever says jack shit. This is fucking criminal and shit needs to start happening. People are needlessly dying and the FDA is one of the primary reasons.
Some states require a diagnosis code on the prescription, but I think that's only for opioids most places. Otherwise, the pharmacist will call the doctor to find out.
