Creates provisions relating to over-the-counter purchase of ivermectin
HB 1684 would allow consumers in this state to purchase ivermectin (a medication typically used for animal health) over-the-counter without a prescription or consultation with a pharmacist or healthcare provider. The bill directly affects residents who currently require a prescription to obtain this medication. Its key provision amends state pharmacy law to remove prescription requirements for ivermectin sales. The bill is currently pending in committee after being prefaced and read for the first time in early 2026.
