Any pharmacy that denies a valid prescription for any reason (outside of outright fraud) should be charged with practicing medicine without a license and shut down immediately.

I just tried to fill an Ivermectin prescription at my local Walmart and was told it was corporate policy to not fill any Ivermectin prescriptions for covid because it wasn't approved for covid. I replied that doctors prescribe off label all the time and this is atrocious and Walmart is contributing to needless deaths! Of couse she was just doing her job!
Who is the Pharmacist to argue what the Rx is for? He job is NOT TO diagnose nor prescribe medication
The Pharmacist is to dispense the Rx, and serve as a double-check against drug interactions that may occur
They do it all the time. Unfortunately, they legally have the power to do so which is why our doctors say do not use Walgreens. And sometimes Walmart depending on which town. But bet the ivermectin policy is in fact a Walmart practice. And yes I too have heard they are largely owned by China. When my ex worked at the paper mill yrs ago I recall a Chinese company had come in and bought out or bought part of the well known company. And it’s names since have never implied Chinese ownership!
