"Ivermectin is RESTRICTED to FDA-approved indications only."
Can someone explain this to me? Hospitals saying ivermectin is not safe and will not be used for treatment.

The pharmacist has the duty to prevent the fulfillment of any medication they deem unsafe for the patient. For example, a physician may prescribe a medication that contains an ingredient that is associated with another medication the patient is allergic to, the pharmacist has a duty to first pause the prescription, and call the physician for clarification and provide that information.
Now I am not sure what to do about politically motivated outcomes.
You’re talking about contraindicated medications. If you are not taking any other medications that are contraindicated by a prescription a doctor writes for you, the pharmacist has no legal authority to deny that prescription. Your medical history/indications are between you and your doctor.

A link to a website describing “Pharmacist Conscience Clauses: Laws and Information” dealing primarily with contraception? Thanks but no thanks. Pharmacist aren’t filling prescriptions for Ivermectin or HCQ because they have been told not to fill these prescriptions for covid diagnosis; not because they conscientiously object to the medication. So doctors have to lie about the diagnosis and say it’s for scabies or malaria. Then the pharmacist will fill the prescription.
Not sure if you just like to argue or what but This was a rebuttal to "the pharmacist has no legal authority to deny that prescription." and that simply is not true.
