Ivermectin Deregulation

Senate Bill S 650 proposes to amend South Carolina law to authorize the over-the-counter sale of ivermectin tablets. This bill directly affects the public in South Carolina, allowing them to purchase ivermectin tablets without a prescription or consultation with a healthcare professional. It also grants pharmacists immunity from civil liability or disciplinary action from their professional licensing board when acting within the scope of this section. If enacted, this change would take effect upon approval by the Governor.
