This bill establishes a new section in the Oklahoma Statutes that defines "over-the-counter medication" as any medication that can be legally sold and purchased without a prescription. Specifically, it designates ivermectin suitable for human use as an over-the-counter medication, allowing it to be sold or purchased in Oklahoma without the need for a prescription or consultation with a pharmacist or other licensed health care professional.
The bill will be codified as Section 353.22.1 of Title 59 and is set to take effect on November 1, 2026. This legislation overrides any existing laws that may contradict the sale and purchase of ivermectin as an over-the-counter medication.
