HB4124 would allow ivermectin approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and intended for human use to be sold over the counter without a prescription or consultation with a healthcare provider. It also would generally protect pharmacies from criminal and civil liability for supplying the drug.
The Oklahoma State House of Representatives passed HB4124 on March 25, 2026 by a vote of 73 to 23. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill advances medical freedom. Although the measure still relies upon approval from the FDA-an unconstitutional federal agency exercising powers not enumerated in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution-it reduces government interference in personal healthcare decisions. Individuals should be free to evaluate available treatments and make informed decisions about their own bodies. The right to bodily autonomy is essential to liberty, and H4124 is a step toward reestablishing that principle.
