House Bill No. [insert number] proposes the enactment of the "Ivermectin Access Law," which allows for the over-the-counter sale and purchase of ivermectin without a prescription in Louisiana. The bill defines ivermectin as an FDA-approved antiparasitic drug used to treat various tropical diseases, infections caused by parasitic worms, head lice, and skin conditions like rosacea. It also defines "over-the-counter medication" as medication that can be legally sold and purchased without a prescription, and specifies that a "healthcare professional" is any person licensed under existing law.

The bill explicitly states that ivermectin suitable for human use may be sold or purchased as an over-the-counter medication in the state, and that such transactions will not require a prescription from any healthcare professional. This legislation aims to increase access to ivermectin for individuals who may need it for the specified conditions, streamlining the process by removing the prescription requirement.
