The bill H. 3916 proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 44-53-150, which would allow for the over-the-counter sale of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine tablets. This legislation stipulates that these medications can be made available to the public without the need for a prescription or consultation with a pharmacist or healthcare professional, thereby removing any existing legal barriers to their purchase.

If enacted, this bill would enable individuals in South Carolina to obtain ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine directly from retail outlets, potentially increasing access to these medications. The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, indicating a swift implementation should it pass through the legislative process.
