Permits over-the-counter purchase of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine tablets without a prescription

SB 1086 would allow Missouri residents to purchase ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine tablets (for human use) directly from pharmacies or retailers without needing a doctor's prescription or consulting a pharmacist. This policy change directly affects consumers who currently require a prescription to obtain these medications. The bill removes existing legal barriers by explicitly permitting their over-the-counter sale under state law, bypassing standard prescription requirements. The measure is still in early legislative stages, having been prefaced and referred to a committee.
