Introduced on March 28, 2025, by Senator Jason Anavitarte and 13 co-sponsors, this Georgia bill makes ivermectin, an antiparasitic drug used for conditions like worms, lice, and rosacea, available over-the-counter without a prescription. It removes ivermectin from Georgia’s list of dangerous drugs and controlled substances, defining it as a medication safe for purchase without a doctor’s approval. The bill updates state laws on pharmacists and pharmacies to allow ivermectin for human use to be sold freely, making it easier for Georgians to access this drug for various health needs.
The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Movement, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., supports this bill as a Pro-MAHA initiative because it increases access to ivermectin, a drug with potential health benefits, aligning with MAHA’s push for affordable, accessible treatment options. By removing barriers to obtaining ivermectin, the bill supports Kennedy’s advocacy for health freedom, allowing Georgians to make their own medical choices without excessive regulation. This promotes a healthcare system that empowers individuals and challenges Big Pharma’s control, fostering healthier communities through greater access to alternative treatments.
