Authorizing the over-the-counter purchase of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine tablets.
HB 2429 would allow Kansas residents to purchase ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine tablets without a prescription. The bill removes the requirement for a doctor's order or pharmacist consultation for these specific medications. It directly affects the public by changing how these drugs are accessed in Kansas pharmacies. The law would take effect upon publication in state statutes, making these medications available over-the-counter for general sale.
