Go to a different pharmacy if you don’t like it but you’re gonna be running out of options once boards of pharmacy require a non-covid diagnosis code, and that day is rapidly approaching.
That's easy. They think they see worms in their shite. I'll even have them give the pharmacy a sample to examine.

So smackoverhawg, it is acceptable for them to ask the use? Is it legal? It is a decision between a doctor and patient. It is not illegal to use Ivermectin for covid therapeutic.
If a doctor has researched and seenpositive results with his patients, what right does a pharmacy have to step in and dictate to a doctor that this isn't acceptable use for a treatment.

No it isnt their right. There are drugs used off label everywhere. They are bending a knee to the FDA and CDC. The cdc and fda refuse to acknowledge success worldwide and have not Don testing themselves for early outpatient use.
They want to funnel everyone to their crappy vaccine which isnt worth a crap. I know too many vaxxed people that have covid. Look at Israel and UK. The Vax sux

Oh yeah whatever. Scabies and worms are running rampant thru society, eh?
So people needing it for covid treatment are important.

It is legal for them to ask the use. They can be liable if they dispense a medicine that was written incorrectly. The usual protocol is to double check with the doctor to ensure a mistake hasn't been made. A patient has the right not to give them the info and they have the right not to fill it. It is not currently illegal to prescribe ivermectin for covid. The patient is free to take the prescription to another pharmacy.
What we are seeing is unprecedented. It's safe if dosed appropriately. There's more evidence supporting it's use and safety than there is for remdesivir. Most pharmacists don't give a shite. Had two call me today to get it for relatives.
They have the right to refuse the script, just as I have the right to tell patients to change doctors or change pharmacies. They never change doctors and I never give them shite for calling if they have a legitimate question or concern and have no issue explaining why I'm prescribing what I am.

But you’re more concerned with health care than politics. CVS and everybody getting a chubby over this obviously have different priorities.

Of course, they have to keep the politicians happy so they don't lose their control over the market. Shitty service and higher prices yet YOUR insurance mandates you go there. Should be illegal, but it isn't.

This is not true. Pharmacists at CVS won’t deny doctors prescriptions. And they don’t ask what it’s for.

Can you explain why you think it would be illegal?

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 )

It was your second time getting Covid, you could have taken any supplement and claimed it worked bc you had antibodies already

The Louisiana Board of Pharmacy and the Department of Health recently threatened pharmacists in regards to Ivermectin but there is no rule against dispensing it.
I mean, yes it is a drug used in horses, but what the media doesn’t say is that it indeed FDA approved for use in humans. Off label use here to be sure, but safe enough to be used by humans per the FDA itself.

CVS is odd in more than that way.
I was interested in getting the JNJ vaccine because it’s not an mRNA shot. Called CVS because they have the JNJ. They also carry at least one of the mRNAs. So I called them and got an automated answering service that explained I would not be able to specify which of them I would receive. The answer is no.

It seems there are a few deflections and misconceptions throughout this thread from the true issue here. I, and most others have not argued that there aren't times where a pharmacist can deny or refuse to fill prescriptions for valid reasons. This Ivermectin position is not an example of a "conscience clause" moral objection unless the pharmacist has a moral objection to helping a patient overcome an infectious disease (in which case they're probably in the wrong line of work).
1) The pharmacists refusing to fill these prescriptions are interfering with the diagnostic provider's recommended treatment for mitigation and prevention of an infectious disease that when allowed to progress can lead to loss of life.
2) These providers are refusing a valid prescription of an historically safe medication that when properly utilized may benefit the patient who has an active and time critical disease process that is being treated by their diagnostic health care provider. The pharmacists are not the ones to diagnose the proper treatment regimen as I've made clear before. This is nothing against pharmacists. They ARE there of course to help act in the best interest of the patient if there are contraindications, addiction/dependency concerns, or other such clinical safety concerns of preventing harm to a patient, for which I have not seen anyone present a reasonable objection to Ivermectin in the case of treating COVID.
This differs wholly from moral stances regarding contraceptives, and abortion medications which are completely irrelevant to these blanket Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine refusals from these pharmacies.
3) Yes, I am passionate about such an issue and everyone else should be too. As large businesses such as these corporate pharmacies have more control over the market it's just another example of big business in conjunction with government banding together to continue the onslaught and erosion of our liberties and rights as individuals to forge our due path in life. In short this leads to medical/health tyranny while our freedoms are already under attack from every possible angle. It's something that should be concerning to anyone who doesn't desire the Marxist "lifestyle". If more people don't start understanding this soon, by the time they find it at their door it will be too late.

No. They should be able to refuse to fill prescriptions they feel are unsafe/illegal. But they need to be consistent. It's one hundred percent within their right.
WRONG.
Doctor writes the prescription, you fill it.
You are not the medical professional in this cycle.

I'm not sure why you think a pharmacist is not a Medical Professional in this case, doctors and pharmacists have to agree to dispense.
