Interesting.
Why would doctors do that if they don't think it's effective ?

The Nevada and Ohio rules dictate that the drugs can only be used for treatment not prevention of COVID-19. Texas and Idaho said that the prescription needs a diagnosis “consistent with the evidence for its use.”
...

The four pharmacy boards passed rules or guidance that would limit most prescriptions of the drugs to 14 days.

...

Pharmacists have already seen doctors prescribing the drugs for themselves or their families, according to Erin Fox, senior director of drug information at University of Utah Health, which has 12 retail pharmacies.

“We saw this specifically at our organization and we worked quickly to not fill those prescriptions,” Fox said.
