DRUGS: Provides relative to the over-the-counter sale and purchase of the drug ivermectin without a prescription

This bill would allow licensed medical practitioners and pharmacists in Louisiana to prescribe and dispense the drug ivermectin without requiring a prior patient examination. It authorizes third parties, such as family members, to receive and administer the medication on behalf of a patient. To ensure safety, the law requires doctors to provide specific training on proper storage, usage, and emergency procedures before issuing prescriptions. The legislation also grants legal immunity from civil and criminal liability to doctors, pharmacists, and third parties acting in good faith, provided the drug is not administered through gross negligence or willful misconduct.
