Brief

Ivermectin availability in Texas: the author argues that OTC ivermectin (per Ian Jaeger’s tweet saying Texans can buy it OTC starting “tomorrow”) is costly and underdosed, and recommends obtaining a prescription via 'mygotodoc' to receive larger, body-weight–adjusted compounded capsules that they claim are cheaper per milligram than OTC and foreign online sources.

Why it matters

Author claims over-the-counter ivermectin now available in Texas is sold at the wrong (too low) dose and is expensive compared with alternatives.

Key details

  • Author asserts that paying for a prescription from 'mygotodoc' yields a much larger, body-weight–based ivermectin dose compounded into capsules.
  • Author states that on a per-milligram basis, mygotodoc compounding mail-order pharmacies are cheaper than over-the-counter ivermectin and cheaper than Mexican or Indian online pharmacies; Ian Jaeger tweeted that Texans can purchase ivermectin OTC starting 'tomorrow.'
Source evidence

This makes for good publicity but practically speaking it just gives people expensive ivermectin at the wrong dose (too low). You save money paying for a prescription from mygotodoc because you get a much, much larger dose (the dose you actually need according to your body weight) compounded into your capsules. Per milligram of ivermectin mygotosoc compounding mail order pharmacies are cheaper than over the counter and cheaper than Mexican or Indian online pharmacies.

Starting tomorrow, Texans will be able to purchase Ivermectin over the counter across the state.
