Tennessee's Ivermectin Law Enables Widespread Over-the-Counter Sales With Minimal Oversight

Summary

Tennessee became the first state to allow over-the-counter sales of ivermectin without patient-specific prescriptions four years ago. The antiparasitic drug is now widely marketed and sold across the state through roadside shops, strip malls, and pharmacies, with little regulatory oversight. The law was championed by an anti-vaccine doctor who has publicly stated he has taken "bucketloads" of the drug. Highly concentrated pills are being dispensed through blanket prescriptions, raising concerns about safety and lack of medical supervision.
