Under the newly signed Missouri bill, “lawfully” dispensing or prescribing ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine cannot be the basis for disciplinary action.
A bill signed into law by Gov. Mike Parson Tuesday will shield healthcare providers from losing their medical licenses when prescribing ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, two medications that have not been shown to be effective in treating COVID-19.
The language was included in a bill dealing with professional licensing regulations, and it was not highlighted in Parson’s news release announcing his decision to sign it and laying out its various provisions.
The bill stipulates that the act of “lawfully” dispensing or prescribing ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine for human use cannot be cited as grounds for disciplinary action by the State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts or Board of Pharmacy.

Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are legitimate drugs. Issue is that they should be prescribed and used for intended proven purpose (Ivermectin for parasites and hydroxy for malaria).

..."The FDA has also urged against taking the antiparasitic medication ivermectin to treat COVID-19. The drug can be used on livestock, and Missouri's health department warned against its use last year after receiving reports of people ingesting it to prevent a COVID-19 infection.
According to the August 2021 health alert, the Missouri Poison Center had managed at least 22 cases so far that year compared to two cases in 2020, "where an individual intentionally has ingested a prescription product or a veterinary formulation not intended for humans use."
The provisions of the bill regarding ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine go into effect Aug. 28."
