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.

Are umbrella lobbyists also trying to prevent people from using tote bags and briefcases to cover their heads when they are caught in the rain without an umbrella?

I also got a shipment from India without a prescription. I got it in 3 weeks. No customs issues, yet. But I’m concerned that they will find a way to block this too.

I think everyone is panicking.

Ivermectin in the bottle, straight with no additives, will always be on the shelf in feed stores.

The cattle farmers, hog farmers, sheep, goats...you name it, all use Ivermectin, as well as large dog kennels. it will cure red mange in dogs and you will never have ear mites or heart worms if used monthly. It will not cure a full blown case of heartworms, but given monthly from puppy age on, it will prevent the formation of heartworms.

It is the cheapest, most convenient way to worm.

My point is that the market is too big to drop and it is a world wide market.

It is also manufactured world wide.

So just take it easy and watch for it in your favorite farm supply store.

It may be that with our overbearing control all things government that there will come a time when you can only get it from a veterinarian but that will create an uproar from farmers and all major animal owners. I think that horse is out of the barn.

Check here and note that the ivermectin tablets in this kit are only 12mg. They sell this to all adults apparently regardless of weight. Therefore we can assume that when we tell a 180 lb person to take 1.8cc, we are telling him to take more than required. It will not hurt, but it is wasted. However the .1 cc per 10 lbs assumes a treatment once a month. In India Ivermectin is taken 3 days in a row for wu-flu. So I would guess one should consider how often they will take it.

Understand that I am not a doctor and am not giving any medical advice. I am only pointing out what you will see on the labels of both liquid large animal treatment and what is on the treatment used successfully in India.

A family member has ordered directly from India and has received several of the orders and has one on the way presently.

And that is all I have to say.

It’s difficult to purchase from India because most vendors will only accept wire transfers, and most people in the US will not go that route. If they would just take a credit card they would get a lot more business from US customers. Until then, I’ve yet to find an Indian company that I’m comfortable doing business with.

Buyivermectin.us accepts Paypal. I'm not comfortable with bank transfers, particularly to foreign entities. If I were, I could probably find cheaper options.

Greedy whore murderers.

I don’t know if pharmacists take the Hippocratic Oath like doctors supposedly do, but if they have, they must have misunderstood and thought it was a Hypocritic Oath

Even if one was to get the coupon from Good RX, you still need a prescription don’t you?

Re:90

I did check the animal-grade options (I don't have a problem with using the tube dispensers), however here in California it is nigh impossible to get. Tractor Supply won't ship to California via mail, and although in concept I could pick up a tube in Watsonville (around 100 miles south of where I live) if I pre-ordered, I just decided to go the 'order from India' route. I think inhousepharmacy.vu (some South Pacific island) is also another option.

I just checked the website. You can’t get anything for less than $450 right not. The 100 pill option is grayed out, as well as everything up to 500 pill quantity.

It doesn’t need to be prescribed. You can buy Ivermectin without a prescription in Mexico.
