Idaho legislature sends ivermectin deregulation bill to governor


On Thursday evening, the Idaho legislature sent a bill to Gov. Brad Little (R-ID) to make ivermectin an over-the-counter medicine in drugstores.

The legislation, Idaho Senate Bill 1211, would allow ivermectin, which is most commonly used in the United States to treat animal parasitic infections, to be sold without a physician’s prescription or consultation with a healthcare professional.
