LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KATV) — Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has officially signed Senate Bill 189 into law, granting approval for the sale and purchase of ivermectin for human use without a prescription.
The new legislation, signed into law on Tuesday, allows ivermectin suitable for human consumption to be sold over-the-counter in Arkansas, making it accessible to individuals without the need for a prescription or consultation with a healthcare professional.
The legislation explicitly states that “ivermectin suitable for human use may be sold or purchased as an over-the-counter medication in this state without a prescription or consultation with a healthcare professional.” This development marks a notable shift in the state’s stance on the drug, which has traditionally been available only through a doctor’s prescription.

This is good, it should be OTC in every state! However, I would argue that EVERY drug should be OTC! When did we give our freedom away like this, that a bunch of unelected career bureaucrats have the power to tell us what we can and cannot buy in the drug store? We have to have the Nanny State look out for us, treat us like children? What has happened to America, the land of freedom?
Some years ago I wrote a letter to the LA Times saying basically what you are saying here. Since then I have softened a bit on this topic, but still believe many prescription drugs should be OTC.
