It has become increasingly difficult to get these items.
Kroger pharmacies will no longer honor prescriptions for these medicines if they are for "off-label" use. The same is true for the CVS pharmacies.
I have personally verified these refusals.
Prescriptions from known tele-medicine doctors will not be accepted.
Once can still get Budesonide without questions. This isn't going to last much longer.
The referral procedures to get monoclonal antibodies at an infusion center are a nightmare of catch-22 requirements. Most people will be denied such treatment until it is too late to do any good.
The only way to get such treatment is by referral from a physician who has admitting privileges at the hospital or clinic where they are done. This is probably not your primary care physician, so an additional referral is needed. That also requires a confirmed diagnosis by tests and severity of symptoms. You must be deemed "eligible" for this treatment and sign a bunch of waivers for the "compassionate use" exemption.
Tick-Tock. You have no more than ten days to be eligible, and you have probably burned four of them with paperwork. That is if all goes well.

There appears to be a massive and coordinated effort to insure that ordinary people cannot obtain effective treatments for COVID-19. The standard prescription to "Go home and take acetaminophen for a week" is not effective treatment.
Does this apply to the infusion centers in all states that have them?
Or just in certain states?
And do all Kroger’s and CVS’es in all states deny ivermectin prescriptions?
Locations may vary in what they will or won’t do.
Everything you have just described is 100% TRUE! I have witnessed it happen where I live in Central Ga.
Kroger gave me the runaround and get this, tried to tell me they “had my prescription of Olanzapine ready.” Do you know what THAT is? Medicine for schizophrenia! (i do not have schizophrenia) Later when I called back to bitch to the pharmacy manager about that little incident, I could hear her ask the young woman with whom I spoke not 10 minutes earlier. She DENIED speaking to me or telling me that! Kroger is woke.
I hear many of the Walgreens in the area will no longer fill it, but they were filling it 2 weeks ago.
I’ve got some on order from a tele-doc but it has been over a week and the pharmacy, which is supposedly reputable (Honeybee Health), has yet to ship it. So I’m thinking that is not going to end well either.
The pharmaceutical companies control everything. EVERYTHING! DJT pissed them off, so now we are paying for it.
My wife’s friend’s hubby is a Dr. He just sent HCQ and Ivermectin Rxs to Costco to fill. They called me to say they can’t fill the Ivermectin (shortage, allegedly) but the HCQ is ready. I then called our local compounding pharmacy which said can it fill Ivermectin. .
Frontline doctors. I consulted a physician, first online profile questions, then contacted me by text, next pharmacy called to receive HCQ Rx payment...two days I had my HCQ.
Taking it as a preventative. First day, 2 x 200mg. Once a week afterward 200mg with 50mg zinc, D3, multivitamin.
So far, so good. Minimal changes in lifestyle, very little masking other than occasionally at work. Warsh my hands often and use alcohol based hand sanitizers when handling things in hi-pop areas.
