S 1211 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

IVERMECTIN – Adds to existing law to provide that ivermectin may be sold or purchased without a prescription or consultation with a health care professional.

This Idaho law, effective April 14, 2025, allows residents to purchase human-use ivermectin without a prescription or consultation with a healthcare provider. It amends Idaho Code to explicitly permit over-the-counter sales of ivermectin for human use, removing prior prescription requirements. The bill directly affects consumers seeking this medication and pharmacies selling it within the state. An emergency declaration expedited its implementation after the governor signed it on April 14, 2025.
