Summary
Pharmacist Matt Murray in Boise, Idaho, is receiving daily requests for ivermectin, a drug primarily for parasitic infections, but can only dispense it with a doctor’s note due to FDA regulations. Despite a new Idaho law allowing over-the-counter access, pharmacists remain cautious, as the FDA has not approved ivermectin for such use, raising concerns about potential misuse and health risks. Similar bills are being proposed in multiple states, yet pharmacists emphasize the need for federal guidance before making the drug widely available without prescriptions.
