Bill > HB0013

This bill creates a new law in Wyoming that allows ivermectin, a medication traditionally used to treat parasitic infections, to be sold and purchased as an over-the-counter medication without requiring a prescription or consultation with a healthcare professional. The bill defines "over-the-counter medication" as a medication that can be legally sold and purchased without a prescription, and specifically states that ivermectin for human use may be sold in this manner. The legislation explicitly ensures that ivermectin will not be classified as a dangerous substance and will not be considered a medication with depressant, stimulant, habit-forming, or hallucinogenic effects that would require medical supervision. This provision effectively removes existing regulatory barriers that currently prevent ivermectin from being directly available to consumers without professional medical guidance. The law is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, giving pharmacies and healthcare systems time to adapt to the new regulations.
