re: Pharmacies not filling prescriptions

he 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.

All they have to do is counsel the patient and document it. That's what my wife does and it's my prescriptions usually. I'll take the heat. IDGAF. I counsel the pt and document. Pt chooses whether or not to take it. Weird how they don't do this with anything else, except the occasional controlled substance. The pharmacist has ways to cover themselves.

My partner refuses to write it. His loss. He don't mind writing the shite out of diet pills, but balks at Ivermectin and HCQ. No logic. People are going to take it. The least I can do is make sure they dose it safely. It's as safe or safer than 99.99% of shite we write everyday.

Pharmacies that refuse it usually lose the pt for good. Let'em. We've had no push back from the medical board here. And it's not like we are forgoing other treatments. I took it and rolled right through it. My dad didn't and died. We were only 16 years apart. Can't say it made a shite's difference, but I can't say it didn't. I can say remdesivir doesn't do shite and most likely makes it worse yet I there is no outcry about giving that expensive shite.
