I'm working remotely as a pharmacy technician. Since I haven't given away the name of the doctor or patient, I'm assuming this isn't any sort of OSHA (edit: HIPAA) violation. Maybe they're prescribing it for something else. Maybe this person has a valid reason for needing horse deworming and the doctor isn't obliging a crazy anti-vaxxer.

In a minute from now, I'm going to have to call the facility to get the patient's weight so that we can clarify the dose to be given. What I want to ask is, "Is the doctor out of their fucking mind???"

Please don't let me be assisting someone in committing suicide.

That would be HIPAA, not OSHA.

Wouldn't be suicide. Just accidental overdose of stupidity

Then the doctor would be a veterinarian, or the horse-paste could be bought right of the shelf at a farm & tack store.

Just because it's also used in horses doesn't mean it can't be used as an antiparasitic in humans

And it is, I had a patient on ivermectin last year for an eye infection causes by a parasite

it widely used and noted in the medical community as a frontline treatment for scabies (which is quite rampant in some areas), never mind other exotic parasitic diseases

can we please stop pushing the narrative that it's just used for livestock deworming

If the horse-paste were stored in the breakroom fridge, right alongside strawberry frosting, that would certainly be an OSHA violation.

Right. HIPAA, not OSHA. Silly me.
