Ohio Senate passes measure forcing hospitals to administer ivermectin, other patient-requested treatments [View all]

The Ohio state Senate passed a bill earlier this week that will allow patients to force hospitals to administer drugs for off-label use. The passage of the bill comes after a years-long effort by Republican lawmakers in the state to expand COVID-19 patients’ access to drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, according to reporting from the Ohio Capital Journal.

Multiple high-profile conservatives—including President-elect Donald Trump—touted both drugs as alternative treatments for COVID-19. Research shows though that the drugs are ineffective in treating the disease and preventing hospitalizations. Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic drug used to de-worm animals while hydroxychloroquine is a medication used to treat malaria.

Under the bill, a prescriber can write a prescription for off-label use of drug as long as they have the patient’s permission, anyone holding a patient’s power of attorney or in the case of minors, their parent or guardian’s permission.

Hospitals, in-patient facilities and the pharmacists working within them are also required to dispense drugs for off-label use during public health emergencies as part of the bill. There are some caveats to the proposed rule, however, that would enable a prescriber to say no to issuing a drug for off-label use.
