HF 2230 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

All pharmacies required to make ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine available without a prescription.

HF 2230 requires all Minnesota pharmacies to offer ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine tablets for human use without a prescription. This bill directly affects every registered pharmacy in Minnesota by mandating the availability of these specific medications as over-the-counter drugs. The key provision amends Minnesota law to add a new requirement (Section 151.411) overriding existing restrictions, making it unlawful for pharmacies to refuse to sell these drugs without a prescription. The bill defines "over-the-counter drug" to include these medications, changing current pharmacy practice standards. This is a direct policy change to alter prescription requirements for two specific drugs.
