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

HB 1182 would have allowed Mississippi pharmacists to provide ivermectin to adults aged 18+ under specific conditions, including a collaborative agreement with healthcare providers and standardized protocols. Key requirements included screening patients with a risk assessment tool, providing a standardized factsheet on ivermectin use, and either dispensing the medication or referring patients to a pharmacy that can dispense it. The bill also permitted pharmacists to charge an administrative fee and provided legal immunity from disciplinary actions or civil liability for pharmacists acting in good faith. This bill, which died in committee in February 2026, did not become law and would have directly affected pharmacists, adult patients seeking ivermectin, and collaborating healthcare providers.
