Publishes legal opinion as hospitals refuse treatments for COVID-19Asked to provide a legal opinion on hospitals in the state banning doctors from prescribing certain treatments for COVID-19, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson concluded doctors have the authority to prescribe drugs for the disease "off-label," such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
"Our doctors, as well as their patients, need to know that doctors have the right to make important medical decisions, as long as they have the informed consent of their patients," Wilson said in a statement announcing the opinion, as FITSNews reported.
"In fighting COVID, the doctor should be given the broadest possible leeway," he said.
The opinion came in response to a request from South Carolina Republican state Sens. Shane Martin and Bill Taylor.
The lawmakers said "hospitals across our state are refusing to allow doctors to prescribe, or their hospital pharmacies to dispense, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, or other ‘off-label use medication’ for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19."
