Pennsylvania HB1494 allows ivermectin, a medication, to be sold over-the-counter without a prescription.
Pennsylvania HB1494 amends the Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act to permit ivermectin, a drug suitable for human use, to be dispensed, sold, or purchased as an over-the-counter medication without a prescription or consultation with a health care practitioner. This change means that individuals in Pennsylvania can buy ivermectin directly from pharmacies without needing to see a doctor first. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
