Pharmacists can only refuse to fill a prescription if the medication is the wrong dose or has a dangerous interaction with another medication the patient may be on. In that case the pharmacist needs to contact the provider to discuss options/alternatives. Otherwise the pharmacist is practicing medicine without a license.

Our local CVS pharmacists (and Walgreens) would call the prescribing Doc to ask purpose of IVM - if for the virus, they refused to fill the Rx. Not sure if that is still their stance.

Not true. They can and will reject it if the governor say ‘boo!’.
