So I work at a MDs office and we have been legitimately seeing more scabies lately. The standard of care for treatment of crusted scabies is ivermectin. We are not able to get it for this. Upon digging in it seems the big box pharmacies (I hope this is all it is limited to ) are being told by the FDA to send all ivermectin to them (FDA)!!!! Where does this stop?

that wont work for crusted scabies.
Crusted scabies.. wow. That is thankfully much rarer (usually elderly as well)
Same stuff we got for kids who came home from school with head lice. Stuff called Rids.
