Authorizing pharmacists to dispense ivermectin

This bill allows West Virginia pharmacists to dispense Ivermectin for human use under two conditions: through a collaborative agreement with a prescriber or, once the FDA approves it for over-the-counter sale, without a prescription. When dispensing without a prescription, pharmacists must provide an FDA-approved patient information sheet and no consultation is required. The bill also shields pharmacists and healthcare providers from civil, criminal, or disciplinary action when following these provisions in good faith. The OTC dispensing provision will take effect immediately upon FDA approval, while other parts of the bill become effective 90 days after passage.
