Pharmacy Groups Call for Immediate End to Prescribing, Dispensing Ivermectin for COVID-19 Outside of Clinical Trials

Several medical groups and pharmacy advocacy organizations have released a statement calling for an immediate end to dispensing, prescribing, and use of ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19, outside of its use in clinical trials.

The groups include the American Medical Association, the American Pharmacists Association, and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. According to a press release, ivermectin is approved by the FDA for the prevention of infections caused by internal or external parasites in humans but is not approved for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19.

Ivermectin is also frequently used by veterinarians; although there has been widespread use of the drug in humans, the groups noted in the press release that medications formulated or intended for animals should never be used by humans. Calls to poison control centers regarding ivermectin use in humans have increased 5-fold since the beginning of the pandemic, as its use has been found to be harmful to those who have consumed it.

“We are alarmed by reports that outpatient prescribing for and dispensing of ivermectin have increased 24-fold since before the pandemic and increased exponentially over the past few months,” write the associations in the prepared statement. “As such, we are calling for an immediate end to the prescribing, dispensing, and use of ivermectin for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 outside of a clinical trial.”

The organizations are also calling for physicians, pharmacists, and other health care providers to warn patients against the use of ivermectin, including the purchase of the drug through online stores. Patients should be advised that veterinary forms of the medication are highly concentrated for large animals and have a significant toxicity risk for humans.

The CDC and FDA have issued statements saying that ivermectin is not authorized or approved for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19, and the National Institutes of Health, the World Health Organization, and Merck have all said that there is insufficient evidence to support its use for COVID-19. Guidelines on the treatment and management of patients with COVID-19 from the Infectious Diseases Society of America also counsel against the use of ivermectin outside of the clinical trial setting.

I was getting my Ivermectin prescription filled every three months since the beginning of the year at Walgreens. I recently ordered a refill and later that day I got a call from Walgreens saying the insurance company wants the doctor to call in to discuss the prescription. I said they never did this before and they said this was a new policy. So, my doctor called and told them that it was a prophylaxis prescription. The prescription was denied.

The next day I went to Walgreens with a Goodrx coupon that would cost $35 for 20 - 3mg tablets. I was paying $15 with insurance. The pharmacist said he would need to speak with the doctor, and I reiterated that I was not going through insurance for this. The pharmacist said he would not dispense without speaking to the doctor.

So, last week I asked the doctor to send the prescription to Rite Aid. I called to see if it was ready, and they asked what it was for. I said I was not going through insurance and that this is a privacy issue between me and my doctor and he said without speaking to the doctor they would not proceed with filling the prescription.

I am now searching for on-line pharmacies and so far, I'm seeing prices for the same box of 20 - 3mg tablets ranging from $140 to $170. I recently got an order of 12mg tablets from India that I distributed to my family members, but I would like to have a domestic supply as well.

Anyone have any suggestions for online pharmacies that are filling these prescriptions?

Ag Supply. Get away from the pills for humans which reports are saying have been nefariously ”placebo”-ized.

These corporations are evil and money grubbing. They do not want any treatment other than what they sell. And, yes, the medical community is mow like God, from test tube babies to euthanasia, from craddle to grave they are your new eternal parent. People wont even make children anymore, the whole business is going Monsanto.

Pharmacies are an important part of administering the jab. I wonder how much they make on each jab delivered. Not that I’m saying there is a huge conflict of interest here ...
