Licensed health care providers; to permit the dispensing of ivermectin by pharmacists without an individual prescription

HB 146 permits pharmacists in Alabama to dispense Ivermectin without an individual prescription to patients aged 19 or older, or minors under 19 with parental consent. This requires a "standing order" from a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner, which must include a risk assessment protocol, patient information on usage and risks, and documentation procedures. The bill prohibits healthcare providers or pharmacists from promoting Ivermectin use or accepting inducements to encourage its use, and protects them from licensing disciplinary action for following the standing order. It directly affects pharmacists, qualifying healthcare providers, and patients seeking Ivermectin for non-approved uses, while maintaining existing medical liability standards.
