My sister is a pharmacist for CVS. I will ask her and get back to y’all. I highly doubt this is company policy and is just some rouge pharmacists. They can refuse to fill a med and are not obligated to fill it.

Yes they can, but it's rare. I've seen it a zero independent pharmacies. Only issues with chains. Walgreens most notably, we don't have a CVS within two hours.

The La Board of Pharmacy sent out a email last week stating they had been requested by the Department of Health to remind pharmacist that pharmacist had a obligation to question the validity of ivermectin scripts for a legitimate approved use. The pharmacist are caught in the middle. Do I follow company policy or do I risk my license and livelihood. Also, ivermectin has increased in price to the point that most insurances pay below acquisition. I personally took it and was feeling better within 24 hours minus the cough and no taste/smell.

My sister in law is a pharmacist at CVS here in Baton Rouge and she refused to fill ivermectin for me and my wife. First she said it doesn’t work for Covid then after we called her out she said it’s on back order and none of us cvs stores will have it. Long story short we got Covid for a second time on Tuesday, and not feeling well. Friend of ours is a Doctor and had ivermectin at his home for family and friends just in case. We were better by Friday after taking the ivermectin ( no fever , no chills, no sore throat )
