Ivermectin; authorize pharmacists to provide to adults pursuant to collaborative pharmacy practice agreement.

HB 1288 allows Mississippi pharmacists to provide ivermectin to adults aged 18+ through collaborative agreements with healthcare providers. The bill requires pharmacists to use a screening tool, provide a standardized factsheet (including indications and contraindications), and either dispense the medication or refer patients to a pharmacy that can. Pharmacists may charge an administrative fee beyond medication costs, and the law grants legal immunity to providers acting in good faith without gross negligence. This directly affects pharmacists, adult patients seeking ivermectin, and the Mississippi Board of Pharmacy, which must establish standardized procedures.
