Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine made available without a prescription by all pharmacies requirement

Minnesota Senate File 2898 would require all pharmacies in Minnesota to offer ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine tablets (suitable for human use) for sale without a prescription. This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to define "over-the-counter drug" and adds a new section mandating that registered pharmacies must make these specific medications available without a prescription. The law would override existing prescription requirements for these drugs, directly affecting all pharmacies in the state. This is a policy change focused on pharmacy dispensing rules, not medical recommendations or health outcomes.
