A bill for an act relating to the dispensing of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin through a standing order in the state.

Summary

The bill requires Iowa’s public health medical director to issue a standing order that lets pharmacists give hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin to anyone 18 or older who requests it. Pharmacists must provide the manufacturer’s label instructions but cannot require a separate prescription, an appointment, or keep a record of the encounter. Both the pharmacist and the medical director are protected from criminal and civil liability for any injuries caused by the dispensing or use of the drugs.
