The bill amends the Public Health Code of Michigan to allow pharmacists to make ivermectin available without a prescription. Specifically, it introduces two new sections, 17771 and 17771a, which grant pharmacists the discretion to provide ivermectin in a manner they deem appropriate.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that pharmacies engaged in retail drug sales may offer ivermectin for over-the-counter purchase in oral, tablet, or topical forms, provided that the drug is manufactured according to good manufacturing practices and that its packaging includes clear dosage instructions, contraindications, and safety information. This legislative change aims to increase access to ivermectin while ensuring safety and proper usage guidelines are communicated to consumers.
