MN HF3814

Licensed pharmacists in Minnesota may dispense ivermectin without a prior prescription if acting under a written standing order created by physicians, physician assistants, or advanced practice registered nurses.

Standing orders must include a mechanism to document patient screening and prescribed doses in the patient's medical record, plus a plan for evaluating and treating adverse events.

Physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice registered nurses, pharmacists, and pharmacies are prohibited from seeking or receiving personal financial benefits through incentive-based programs or inducements that influence therapeutic changes or test ordering.

Pharmacists must provide recipients with a standardized informational sheet in plain language that includes follow-up care information and does not discourage ivermectin use for COVID-19 treatment.

Licensing boards (Board of Medical Practice, Board of Nursing, State Board of Pharmacy) cannot take disciplinary action against prescribers or pharmacists who comply with this law's requirements, even if other parties fail to follow the standing order.
