Permits over-the-counter purchase of ivermectin and hydroxycholorquine tablets without a prescription
SB 1489 would allow consumers to purchase ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine tablets directly from pharmacies without needing a doctor's prescription. This bill directly affects individuals seeking these specific medications for personal use. The key provision removes the current requirement for a prescription for these two drugs when sold in tablet form. The bill is currently in early legislative stages, having been prefilled and read for the first time.
