West Virginia SB477 allows pharmacists to dispense Ivermectin without a prescription.

West Virginia SB477 authorizes pharmacists to dispense Ivermectin for human use without requiring a prescription from a licensed health care provider. This change takes effect 90 days after the bill's passage or immediately upon the Federal Food and Drug Administration approving Ivermectin for over-the-counter use. Pharmacists dispensing Ivermectin in good faith are protected from liability for damages in civil actions, criminal prosecutions, or professional disciplinary proceedings.
