Idaho’s Bold Move: Ivermectin Available Over the Counter Now

Ivermectin will now be sold without prescription thanks to a new law signed by Governor Brad Little. The use of Ivermectin was criticized by members of the media who disagreed with its use during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The drug's use was either prohibited or limited during the pandemic despite many doctors and medical professionals prescribing it to prevent and treat COVID-19.

Years later, Idaho's Conservative Legislature proposed a bill (SB1211) allowing the drug to be sold in Idaho without a prescription. The bill had no issues in the House and Senate.

Idahoans will not have to wait for the bill to become law. The Idaho Capital Sun reports the bill is now law. The move is a major victory for both Conservatives in the legislature and health freedom advocates who fought for more access to Ivermectin since the early days of the pandemic. 

The next move will be to see how the state works with the FDA and USDA who haven't allowed the drug without a prescription. We don't know at this time whether they'll attempt to block Idaho's new law.
