The Douglas County coroner is reporting a 74-year-old Colorado woman died of "ivermectin toxicity" in August, CBS News Colorado has learned. It's the second such death in the state, and it's triggering renewed cautions about the different forms of ivermectin.

"It's safe when used as prescribed," said Dr. Shireen Banerji, the director of the Rocky Mountain Poison Center.

"It's not safe when you are using veterinary medicine not prescribed for you -- it's not the right formulation," said Banerji.
