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 facilitating easier access to these drugs.
If enacted, this bill would take effect immediately upon approval by the Governor. The intent behind this legislation is to provide greater accessibility to ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for individuals in South Carolina, potentially impacting public health and treatment options within the state.
