[OBCE Oregon * BCE]

This message is being sent to all licensees and certificate holders.
Please review this Health Alert<https://emergency.cdc.gov/han/2021/pdf/CDC_HAN_449.pdf> from the CDC regarding Ivermectin.

As a reminder: writing prescriptions for medications is outside the scope of practice for all Oregon licensed chiropractic physicians and certified chiropractic assistants.

Due to a rapid increase in Ivermectin prescriptions and reports of severe illness associated with use of products containing Ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19, the CDC have released an official health advisory.

“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed with the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) that human exposures and adverse effects associated with ivermectin reported to poison control centers have increased in 2021 compared to the pre-pandemic baseline. These reports include increased use of veterinary products not meant for human consumption.”
