Pharmaceuticals; prohibiting the Board of Pharmacy from disciplining pharmacists who recommend off-label use of a drug; allowing over-the-counter sale of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine.

Summary

The bill stops the Alabama Board of Pharmacy, pharmacy employers, and pharmacy benefit managers from revoking, suspending, or otherwise penalizing pharmacists who suggest or fill off‑label prescriptions. It also lets anyone buy ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine over the counter, while keeping existing rules for controlled substances and untested off‑label uses. The change aims to give pharmacists the same legal protection physicians already have.
