Estimated rate per 100,000 population of unique patients receiving ivermectin dispensed from retail pharmacies by state and the District of Columbia — US, March 2019–March 2021. Monthly state-level estimates of outpatient retail prescription data are from the IQVIA Total Patient Tracker (TPT) database and the 2019 intercensal estimates are from the US Census Bureau. TPT collects data from a sample of approximately 48,900 US retail pharmacies, representing 92% of all retail prescription activity. TPT estimates numbers of unique patients receiving ivermectin prescriptions dispensed by the state where the dispensing retail pharmacy is located. The 10 states with the highest estimated rates of ivermectin dispensing from pharmacies located in their state in January 2021 are displayed individually: red line is Texas, orange line is Oklahoma, yellow line is Georgia, dark blue line is Alabama, light green line is Mississippi, purple line is Arkansas, brown line is Louisiana, pink line is Florida, dark green line is Tennessee, light blue line is Arizona; and all other states are combined in the gray line. Ivermectin dispensed by mail order and long-term care pharmacies, prescriptions by veterinarians, and non-oral formulations were not included.
